Cessna Citation M2 Overview

The Cessna Citation M2 is the next iteration for the CJ1 family of aircraft.  The Citation M2 replaced the Citation CJ1+ which was not competing well with Embrears Phenom 100 because of being higher priced and less capable.  The M2 has improved on the Cessna CJ1+ in many areas including high hot performance while the new Phenom 100EV was released with improved high hot performance.  This is likely as a result of the M2’s capability.  While the M2 is a new aircraft so there are not yet many M2 for sale on the used market.   The M2 has the same cabin diameter as its CJ1+ predecessor.

Citation M2 Points of Interest

The M2 is powered by the Williams International FJ44-1AP-21 turbofan engines which produce 1965lbs of thrust each which consequently make the M2 one of the top three entry level light jets in the market which include the M2, Phenom 100EV and the HondaJet.

Most of all the M2 has continued the highly successful CJ1 line of aircraft and it is Cessna’s introductory jet now that the Citation Mustang has ceased being produced.
