The Cessna CitationJet/M2/CJ series (Model 525) are light business jets part of
the Cessna Citation family, built by the Cessna Aircraft Company. Its variants
are marketed under the CJ, CJ1, CJ1+, M2, CJ2, CJ2+, CJ3, CJ3+, CJ4 and CJ4+
names. As of June 2017, 2,000 have been delivered with five million hours flown.
The CitationJet is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with retractable
trailing-link tricycle landing gear, a pressurized cabin, a T-tail, and is
powered by two Williams FJ44 turbofan engines that are pylon mounted on the rear
fuselage. Basically an all new aircraft, the CitationJet used a modified version
of the Citation's forward fuselage, but with a new supercritical laminar flow
wing, and a new T-tail configured tailplane. It features EFIS avionics and
single pilot certification. The CitationJet's fuselage is 11 inches (27 cm)
shorter than the Citation I's, but has a lowered center aisle for increased
cabin height.

Citation M2
Model 525 marketed as Cessna Citation M2 are powered by improved FJ44-1AP-21
turbofans offering 10 to 15% more cruise thrust and up to 5% more hot-and-high
thrust, and are equipped with modern Garmin G3000 avionics replacing Rockwell
Collins Pro Line 21. Launched in September 2011, it is based on the then
out-of-production CJ1 variant and features a new cabin layout and a more
efficient FJ44 version. The initial M2 prototype first flew on 9 March 2012, it
was not a conforming airframe but was testing the Garmin G3000 avionics and
Williams FJ44-1AP-21 turbofans while one another aircraft was expected to join
the certification program in May 2012 to be used for aerodynamics testing. With
150 produced since introduction in 2013, it became Cessna's entry-level jet
after the Citation Mustang stopped production in May 2017.
