Cessna Citation CJ1+

The Cessna Citation CJ1 (also Model 525) was developed as an improved version of the original Citation Jet. The CJ1 design includes a more-modern EFIS avionics suite and a moderate increase in maximum takeoff weight. It shares the same airframe as the original Citation Jet but has an additional updated avionics package, and FADEC to allow the engines to be controlled by computer rather than mechanical controls. After customers inquired to Cessna Aircraft about creating an updated jet with improved performance, the company began work on a new design. On October 12, 2004, Cessna Aircraft announced the release of the Cessna Citation CJ1+, an upgrade from its predecessor, the Citation CJ1.
