Cessna 525 CitationJet
The Cessna Citation CJ1 (Model 525) is the first and smallest of the CJ series of Cessna aircraft. It was developed as an improved version of the original Cessna CitationJet (also Model 525). It borrows much of the forward fuselage from the Cessna Citation I (Model 500).[1] The CJ1 improved on the CitationJet by adding the Collins Pro Line 21 EFIS avionics suite and a moderate increase in maximum takeoff. The CJ1 has a newer cousin, the CJ1+ which shares the same airframe but has an additional updated avionics package and FADEC, to allow the engines to be controlled by computer rather than mechanical controls.
