Wonders aren’t always so small

Soaring good looks

    Wings

    The leading edge of the CJ4 wing features a 15.454 degree sweep with the the trailing edge sweep at -0.411 deg. The wing’s airfoils are designed to optimize performance at each station of the wingspan. A subtle concave hollow ahead of the trailing edge further cuts drag, especially during climb.

    T-tail design

    The scaled-up t-tail design of the CJ4 contributes to smooth, stable flights and easy handling.

    Landing gear

    When designing the CJ4, Cessna engineers moved the main landing gear inboard, reducing the track. A narrower track makes all aspects of ground handling smoother. The same long-stroke, trailing-link landing gear common to all CJs guarantees the softest landings and smooth taxiing.

    Windshield

    The heated-glass windshields in the CJ4 are always on, freeing the flight department from having to deal with ice or fog no matter the temperature of weather. With a tightened area, the CJ4 windshields retain an excellent field of vision for the pilot with better sun protection overhead.

    Powerplant

    Two dual-channel, full-authority digital engine controlled (FADEC) Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines flank the exterior of the CJ4. The engine produces 3,621 pounds (16.11 kN) of takeoff thrust at sea level, static conditions, flat-rated up to 79°F (26°C). Fuel stored in the wings allows for generous range.

    A cabin of class

    The CJ4 cabin introduces a new level of luxury and technology to the CJ line.

    Cabin environment

    The CJ4 features an attractive width of 58 inches, enhancing its cabin comfort.

    The CJ4 features separate temperature-control zones for the cockpit and cabin, and digitally managed pressurization that maintains a sea-level cabin up to an altitude of 21,067 feet. Passengers can also enjoy an exceptionally quiet cabin via acoustic-blanket soundproofing.

    Dual-zone temperature control
    Digitally controlled pressurization
    Long-lasting LED lighting

    In-cabin technology

    Introducing the award-winning Venue TM HD integrated cabin management and entertainment suite. Venue provides high-definition digital video and audio for in-flight entertainment or business. Connect your laptop and have a working session. Or relax during your flight with your choice of CDs, Blu-ray DVDs, and games.

    Seating and configuration

    Six deeply cushioned, generously wide reclining leather seats feature a patented retractable armrest design, with available lumbar support and seat-side media docks. Each seat tracks forward, aft, and laterally and may recline all the way to horizontal in certain configurations.

    The standard configuration for the CJ4 cabin is six-place center club seating, with a seventh seat across from the entry door. Another floor plan configuration offers a two-place side-facing couch for a total of nine seats. Lockable external baggage compartments can be loaded with a massive 1,000 pounds of total weight.

    Avionics

    Operation: Best-in-class flight deck

    Mission accomplished

    The CJ4’s avionics suite combines category-leading technology with ergonomic enhancements and extreme user friendliness. Cessna’s engineers designed the CJ4 flight deck, powered by Collins Pro Line 21, from extensive research into how pilots interface with technology. The result is improved piloting with simple operations and significantly reduced workload. With the flight deck’s tilted control panel, illuminated push buttons replacing toggle switches, the ramped pedestal, and every flight instrument placed within the pilot’s field of vision, the environment is designed carefully around the work that is required. Electrically heated windshields and side windows keep the pilot in complete quiet as well, reducing distractions.

    Navigating weather

    A standard CJ4 capability is enhanced weather tracking via the MultiScan™ RTA-4112 Weather Radar system. Pilots can use this solid-state color radar system to detect weather systems and navigate around them to minimize turbulence. Short-, mid-, and long-range weather detection is included with multiple radar scans at preselected tilt angles. At any altitude or range, the system displays an optimized weather picture for the pilot.

    The system’s true 320-nautical-mile “clutter-free” weather display detects weather-related threats at any location in the world. The accurate depiction of weather and turbulence hazards significantly reduces pilot workload and training. The system also supports integration of new data sources as they become available.

    Key features include:

        • Fully automatic operation
        • Clutter-free, real-time weather detection from the aircraft nose to 320 nautical miles
        • Variable temperature-based gain
        • OverFlight™ protection
        • Geographic Weather Correlation (patented)
        • Certified turbulence detection
        • Enhanced ground-clutter suppression
        • TrueZero™ automatic antenna-misalignment compensation
        • Path attenuation compensation (PAC) and PAC alert
        • SmartScan™ rapid update technology
        • Exceptional transmitter/receiver system performance
        • Active gain in all modes
        • Full split-function operation
        • High reliability

    Proximity awareness

    An available optional capability for the CJ4 is the MARK V Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS), by Honeywell, which protects against wind shear and controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). The pilot can input a variety of aircraft parameters and the system will apply algorithms to calculate an alerting envelope around the aircraft. When parameters are exceeded, the system will alert the flight crew with text messages on the displays, as well as audible alerts when necessary.

    The system offers pin-selectable altitude callouts, envelope modulation, geometric altitude algorithm, turn extrapolation, auto-display pop-up, auto-tilt of weather radar, and the ability to host Honeywell’s Runway Awareness and Advisory System. Warnings include:

    • Excessive descent rate
    • Terrain closure rate
    • Excessive altitude loss after takeoff or missed approach procedure
    • Insufficient terrain clearance
    • Descent below glideslope
    • Excessive bank angle

    Powerplant

    Two dual-channel, FADEC-controlled, Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines are installed on the CJ4. This engine is a medium-bypass, twin-spool design with four compression stages and three turbine stages. It produces 3,621 pounds (16.11 kN) of takeoff thrust at sea level, static conditions, flat-rated up to 79°F (26°C). The FADEC system also provides time-limited dispatch, diagnostics, and engine synchronization.
