The CJ4 Gen2 is the largest of Cessna's single-pilot CitationJets, with a swept wing, Williams FJ44-4A engines and a 2,165 nm range. The Gen2 update added a redesigned cabin, new seats and cockpit refinements, keeping the CJ4 the go-to choice for owner-pilots who want light-jet speed with midsize-style range.
