AeroMech has received FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for an aftermarket installation of SpaceX's Starlink satellite connectivity system aboard the Cessna Citation Longitude, providing another high-speed internet option for Textron Aviation’s super-midsize jet. The AeroMech STC enables use of the Starlink low-earth-orbit satellite network for worldwide connectivity, except over countries that prohibit its use.

Installation is available at Textron Aviation service centers in North America and certain international service centers.
