Cessna Citation M2

The Cessna CitationJet/CJ/M2 (also known as the Model 525) are a series of light business jets built by Cessna, and are part of the Citation family. Launched in October 1989, the first flight of the Model 525 was on April 29, 1991. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification was awarded on October 16, 1992, and the first aircraft was delivered on March 30, 1993. The CJ series are powered by two Williams FJ44 engines; the design uses the Citation II's forward fuselage with a new carry-through section wing and a T-tail. The original CitationJet model was updated into the CJ1/CJ1+/M2 variants, and the CJ1 was stretched into the CJ2/CJ2+, which was built between 2000 and 2016. Two additional fuselage stretches yielded the CJ3/CJ3+, built from December 2004 to present, and finally the CJ4, which features a moderately swept wing and has been built since 2010. By June 2017, 2,000 of all variants had been delivered. In 2021, Cessna announced updated versions of the M2, CJ3, and CJ4 marketed as the Citation Gen2, and in 2024 the company announced plans for the Citation Gen3, which is expected to enter service in 2026.
