CITATION X PLANE SERIES
CITATION X PLANE WINDOWS

“The first CitationJet to have a swept wing. Range is 1,500 nmi (2,800 km) with four passengers and it can cruise at 437 kn (503 mph 809 km/h) and a max service ceiling of 41,000 feet.” Powered by two 1,900 lbf (8.5 kN) Williams FJ44s, the 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) aircraft has a trailing link undercarriage for smooth landings and can be flown by a single pilot. The jet uses the Citation II’s forward fuselage, a new carry-through section, a new laminar flow, supercritical wing developed with NASA and Boeing, and a T-tail. “The six-seat CitationJet is a monoplane with a cantilever wing, a retractable tricycle landing gear and a pressurized cabin. It first lifted off on May 5, 2008, from McConnell AFB in Wichita, Kansas and first deliveries started in 2010. The basic CitationJet model was updated into the CJ1/M2 variants additionally, CJ1 was stretched into the CJ2/CJ2+ delivered from 2000 to 2016, then further into the CJ3/CJ3+ delivered from December 2004 and finally into the CJ4. Powered by two Williams FJ44s, it uses the Citation II’s forward fuselage with a new carry-through section, wing, and T-tail. It was first launched in October 1989, the Model 525 first flight was on April 29, 1991, FAA certification was awarded on October 16, 1992, and first delivery happened on March 30, 1993.

I’ll come back later to why the modeled Citation CJ4 doesn’t have 2D popup windows yet and why it has also no AviTab. Using during different phases of flight the start procedure, practicing check lists, operational flows and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and so on. As Greg explained during the many Skype sessions we had, this modeled Citation CJ4 is a “consumer version” so it will initially offer a taste of what it feels like flying the Citation CJ4, interacting with the in-house developed and modeled ProLine 21 avionics. It doesn’t have the integrated AviTab at this moment and it also doesn’t include an external GPU (Ground Power Unit) object.

Then Greg spent hundred of hours flight testing it, and fine tuning the aerodynamic performance and engine model until it felt highly accurate and realistic in all phases of flight.Īs highlighted to me by Greg, the modeled Citation CJ4 doesn’t come with all kind of 2D popup DUs or options to change certain settings. You don’t see this often that an active pilot leads a team of developers around him who are able to model the Citation CJ4 with all its features. This design approach enables one to built very high fidelity flight sims ! Each avionic node would run independently of each other, releaving the flight sim computer to focus on rendering the outside world, aerodynamic aircraft perf. The idea of separate avionic display units linked together via a network connected to a flight simulation platform for very high realism. The company first started as an avionic research and industrial design company. His passion has always been flying, computing and flight simulation. Greg Gineys, president and owner of Netavio, is an active Cessna CJ4 pilot. To go into depth and tell you what a Cessna Citation CJ4 business jet is, is not so difficult, but to explain who or what Netavio is, will cost a bit more time, so lets start with that first.
