Out-performing the CJ1 and Citation Mustang in almost every category, the Cessna Citation M2 launched in 2011 and deliveries began in 2013.
The Cessna Citation M2 is a sleek, light business jet designed for exceptional performance, luxury, and advanced avionics, making it an excellent choice for business executives, private owners, and corporate travelers. As part of the renowned Citation family, the Citation M2 offers an ideal combination of speed, range, and affordability, with the ability to operate from smaller airports and shorter runways. Its versatility, along with its single-pilot certification, makes it popular among both experienced corporate pilots and owner-operators looking for a high-performing yet easy-to-fly jet. Powered by two Williams FJ44-1AP-21 turbofan engines, the Cessna Citation M2 can reach a maximum cruise speed of 404 knots (466 mph) and offers a range of approximately 1,550 nautical miles. This range allows the M2 to fly nonstop between cities like Los Angeles and Dallas or Chicago and Miami, making it ideal for regional or cross-country flights. Its efficient engines and aerodynamic design help reduce operating costs, while its performance capabilities allow it to fly at altitudes of up to 41,000 feet, providing a smooth and fuel-efficient ride above commercial air traffic and weather disturbances.
