The Premier Light Jet

The Citation CJ4 is the largest and fastest member of the CJ family, effectively blurring the lines between a light jet and a midsize aircraft. While earlier CJs used a straight wing, the CJ4 introduced a moderately swept wing—a design borrowed from the Citation Sovereign—which allowed for much higher cruise speeds. The Gen2 model updated the interior to reflect the modern luxury found in Cessna's larger "Latitude" and "Longitude" jets.

Why the CJ4 is the Professional’s Choice

The CJ4 is chosen for its "big jet" features, including a heated external baggage compartment, a refreshment center, and an electrically-heated windshield. It offers a significant step up in payload and range over the CJ3+, allowing for missions that previously required a much larger aircraft. The Gen2 specifically wins on "curb appeal," with its CoolView skylights and enhanced cabin acoustics, making it a favorite for charter passengers who demand a premium environment.

Speed and Sophistication

The Citation CJ4 Gen2 is a high-performance standout, offering a blend of speed and cabin luxury that rivals many midsize jets. It accommodates up to ten passengers in a cabin that features updated seating and the Wireless CMS (Cabin Management System). Powered by Williams FJ44-4A engines, it boasts a top speed of 451 knots and a range of 2,165 nautical miles. Both the CJ4 and Gen2 utilize the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, ensuring a high level of operational reliability and safety for pilots.
