The Private Jet Aircraft Market Has A Big Hit With The Citation Bravo by Sandy Rutherforde
The old adage “when it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” is actually a common approach that Cessna engineers use when designing aircraft for their Citation business jet aircraft line. Many basic design features which have been successful all through many years seem to re-emerge with each brand new model that hits the marketplace. Launched in 1997, the Citation Bravo fits the bill perfectly.
With in excess of 603 aircraft built when production stopped in 1994, the venerable Citation II was much in need of a technological upgrade. In came the Citation Bravo. After obtaining FAA certification during the summer of 1996, the Citation Bravo quickly made a name for itself in the light jet aircraft sector. Outfitted with much more efficient Pratt and Whitney PW530 engines, plus a trailing link landing gear system used for smoother landings, as well as the newest Honeywell avionics package for additional safety, the Citation Bravo is in a class by itself.
Built in 2002, Desert Jet’s Citation Bravo offers the maximum in cabin luxury, comfort and versatility. Having seating for nine people which features a two seat divan, center club seating in the main cabin for six people plus a belted lavatory seat at the rear of the aircraft, there’s a great deal of room to go around. Feeling hungry? Make use of the completely stocked refreshment center on board. Are you feeling tired? Cessna engineers redesigned the Bravo’s fuselage to reduce cabin noises to allow for a more comfortable flight experience.
Do you tend to pack heavy for any trip? Not an issue. With some of the very best luggage room in its class, the Bravo has space for two sets of golf clubs in addition to bags in its totally enclosed aft baggage space, easily accommodating a weekend outing in Pebble Beach with a lot of ease. Tired of shoveling snow off of your driveway? The Bravo is definitely the perfect aircraft to help you escape the severe winters of Canada. With a total range of more than 1200 nautical miles, you can fly non-stop from Calgary to Palm Springs in a little over three hours.
Even though the original Citation II and the Citation Bravo may look very similar on the outside, it is what’s on the inside that is important. Not only do you enjoy the very same dependability, overall performance and versatility of all the earlier generation Citation aircraft, the Bravo is furnished for luxury, placing it in a class of its very own.
Appropriate for the aircraft name, the word “bravo” is often employed to express a job well done. Aircraft operators and passengers both are in agreement with this sentiment since even though production ended a few years ago, the Citation Bravo will continue to be a prominent figure in the private jet aircraft market for many years to come.
