Textron Aviation Completes 100th Cessna Citation Longitude Production Unit



Textron Aviation completed the 100th production unit of its Cessna Citation Longitude business jet, with the aircraft expected to be delivered later this year.

“The Citation Longitude has redefined its category with class-leading performance, efficiency and an unrivaled cabin experience,” Ron Draper, president and CEO of Textron Aviation, said. “A milestone like this wouldn’t be possible without the owners and operators who love to fly our aircraft, or the extraordinary workforce that designs, builds and maintains this legendary aircraft.”

The Citation Longitude incorporates technology like integrated autopilot and auto-throttle systems with emergency descent mode. The Citation Longitude gained FAA certification in September 2019 and Textron Aviation began customer deliveries soon after.
