Technological features

Two Honeywell HTF7700L turbofan engines produce up to 7,600 lbs each of thrust. Centred around Garmin G5000 avionics, the flight deck is designed to help pilots manage the aircraft’s navigation, traffic, surveillance and communications systems. Displays can be customised via touch-screen panels, while synthetic vision technology gives a virtual-reality view of terrain, obstacles, traffic and runways that may not be visible to the naked eye.

The Longitude’s state-of-the-art cabin management system gives access to features like digital media, individual interactive moving maps and satellite radio. Passengers can control their onboard environment using their mobile phones.

History

The Cessna Citation Longitude was announced at EBACE in May 2012. Its aluminium airframe retained the Citation Latitude’s fuselage cross-section, but the new jet boasted an extra row of seats, a new 28-degree swept wing and a T-tail. The Longitude made its first flight in October 2016 and was certified in September 2019.

Manufacturer

Cessna was founded in 1927 by Clyde Cessna and Victor Roos. It was originally called the Cessna-Roos Aircraft Company, but Roos’ name was dropped after he resigned just one month into the partnership and sold back his interest to Cessna.

Headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, the company specialised in producing small piston-powered planes and business jets. After becoming one of the world’s biggest general aviation producers, it was bought by General Dynamics in 1985 and by Textron in 1992. In March 2014, Cessna stopped operating as a subsidiary company and joined Beechcraft and Hawker as one of the three distinct brands produced by Textron Aviation.

Cost

A new Cessna Citation Longitude would cost around $27 million (USD).
