About

Citation CJ1+

The Citation CJ1+ represents a significant performance and technology upgrade over the CJ1, introducing modern engines and avionics while retaining the proven airframe and handling characteristics of the original design. Equipped with Williams FJ44-1AP engines featuring FADEC, the CJ1+ delivers improved climb performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced pilot workload. The addition of the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite modernized the flight deck, offering advanced situational awareness and simplified operation for single-pilot missions. The cabin maintains the familiar five-seat club configuration with an optional belted lavatory seat for a sixth passenger, preserving the aircraft’s balance of comfort and efficiency. Capable of climbing to 41,000 feet in just 27 minutes, the CJ1+ cruises at 389 knots and offers a range of approximately 1,300 nautical miles. Blending reliability with upgraded performance and technology, the CJ1+ stands out as one of the most versatile and efficient light jets in the Citation lineup.
