Introduced in 2004, the Citation CJ3 represented a significant leap forward in the CJ series, offering superior range, speed, and cabin size. Equipped with Williams FJ44-3A engines, the CJ3 boasted a range of up to 2,040 nautical miles and a cruising speed of 417 knots, making it an ideal choice for longer domestic and short international flights. The aircraft could accommodate up to seven passengers in a spacious and elegantly designed cabin that set new standards for comfort and style in the light jet category. The CJ3's avionics suite, featuring the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, provided pilots with an unparalleled level of control and situational awareness, further enhancing the aircraft's appeal to operators seeking a blend of performance and luxury.
