The Cessna Citation Longitude (Model 800) is a super mid-size business jet project, part of the Cessna Citation family, announced in May 2012 and scheduled for introduction in 2017.[1]
Design and development
The project is perceived as the follow-on development to the now-canceled Cessna Citation Columbus. Its fuselage cross-section (83.25 inch circular section) is the same as the Cessna Citation Latitude. The aircraft will have a T-tail empennage, area rule fuselage contouring, and 30° wing sweep. The aluminum wings will incorporate moderate winglets. Construction will be aluminum for both wing and fuselage. The cabin will be 7 inches shorter and 6 inches narrower than the Columbus design.[2]
Instead of the initially selected Snecma Silvercrest engine,[3] instead used for the Citation Hemisphere, the Longitude will use the Honeywell HTF7700L turbofan. First flight should happen in 2016 with entry into service in 2017.[4]
