Cessna Books $1 Billion In Jet Orders At NBAA

Worlds Largest General Aviation Plane Maker Gets Even Bigger
Cessna showed off its newest business jet, the Citation CJ4, at the recently
concluded National Business Aviation Association conference last week, and
was immediately rewarded with 101 orders.

The new seven-to-eight passenger bizjet will offer the strongest performance
and payload balance in the CJ series with a cruise speed of 435 knots, but
with another 14 orders for other jets, the total of 115 jets ordered at the
NBAA show will gross Cessna a billion dollars for the fourth quarter of
2006. Counting pre-orders for other corporate jets, Cessna has already
booked a total of 160 orders, and the quarter isn't even over yet.

“Results from this year’s NBAA show are nothing short of impressive,”
said Lewis B. Campbell, Textron’s Chairman, President and CEO. Textron is
the parent company of Cessna, along with Bell Helicopters and other
aerospace businesses.

Cessna also unveiled its concept of a large cabin business jet and gathered
feedback through the show from customers. Cessna has previously tested this
concept just a few months ago in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on their smallest
possible offering, the Light Sport Aircraft model.

If both the large cabin jet and the LSA go into production, Cessna claims
that it will have, by far, the most comprehensive range of general aviation
aircraft of any company in the world.

With that one billion dollar total jet order in its pocket, along with a
thriving piston market for private pilots, you might say that Cessna is
flying high right now.

Das kann nicht dein ernst sein

Flieger wo man beim Take off die Bremse halten muß bis das Ruder anspricht sind nicht herrlich Flieger.

Flieger wo die Kabinenhaube nach hinten aufgeht, und auch der neue Riegel vom Pax unbeabsichtigt aufgemacht werden kann sind keine herrlichen Flieger

Flieger wo man die Stromversorgung unterdimensioniert so das es bei max. Last zum Ausfall des FADEC kommt nur damit das G1000 weiter versorgt wird sind keine herrlichen Flieger zumal die überlast beim ausfahren des Fahrwerks auftritt.

Flieger die Motoren haben die bei 300FH ex gehen sind keine herrlichen flieger

flieger wo bei längerer standzeit das "A" Lager (Flügellagerung) zu großes Spiel bekommt sind keine herrlichen Flieger

Flieger wo man ab einer gewissen Aufheizung der Kabine nimma fliegen darf (53°C lt. Handbuch) sind keine herrlichen Flieger

Flieger die LAndeklappen zur Zirde mit sich rumtragen sind keine herrlichen Flieger

Flieger die in der Werbung 15l Verbrauch vorgaukeln und dann dennoch 20l wegbrennen sind keine herrlichen Flieger

Flieger wo 1200NM Endurance beworben werden (nur mit LR-Tanks möglich) und dabei aber nur mehr einen Piloten mit max.75kg (Daten aus dem Handbuch) tragen sind keine herrlichen Flieger

Flieger die permanent Öl beim Ölpumpenflansch verlieren und sich der zarte Film über das Windshild verteilt - und das seitens Hersteller o.k ist sind keine herrlichen Flieger



Soll ich die Liste verlängern ? Es gibt noch etliche Punkte die die Diamond Flieger zu nicht herrlichen Fliegern machen ....

First Production Cessna Citation CJ4 Completes First Flight
Cessna Aircraft Company, completed the first flight of the first production Citation CJ4 today, just more than three months after the CJ4 prototype initially flew May 5. The 41-minute flight departed McConnell Air Force Base in east Wichita and completed numerous systems evaluations. Flown by Cessna Engineering test pilots David Lewandowski and Dan Morris, the CJ4 returned to Cessna’s facility on Mid-Continent Airport as scheduled and where it will continue development and certification testing.
The first production aircraft, Serial 0001, will primarily be used for avionics and systems certification. The second production aircraft, Serial 0002, is nearing completion at Cessna’s Pawnee Advanced Engineering facility in Wichita and will fly function and reliability along with company service tests.
Since the CJ4 prototype completed first flight in May it has logged 59 flights and accumulated more than 90 hours. The aircraft has completed system verification flight tests - such as speed brakes and flaps systems - and has been cleared through its operating envelope. Certification tests for the prototype and production airframes are on schedule to begin later this year.
Configurable for seven to eight passengers in the main cabin, the Citation CJ4 is expected to have a maximum speed of 435 knots (806 kilometers per hour), a full fuel payload of 1,000 pounds (453 kilograms) and maximum payload of 2,100 pounds (952 kilograms), more than 300 pounds (136 additional kilograms) compared to the typical CJ3. It will be certified for operations up to 45,000 feet (13,700 meters).

The aircraft will debut the new Williams International FJ44-4A electronically controlled (FADEC) engines and will feature the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite and Venue, the next generation cabin management system. All current production Citations employ new generation turbofan engines, which meet or exceed the most stringent noise requirements and allow Cessna’s line of business jets to be among the most fuel efficient and achieve some of the lowest emissions in the industry.

Cessna plans to achieve Federal Aviation Administration type certification in the second half of 2009, followed by customer deliveries beginning in the first half of 2010. Concurrently, Cessna is working toward European Aviation Safety Agency certification.
