Cessna’s newest, biggest jet is the Citation Longitude. The swept-wing Longitude has the roomiest cabin and the longest range of any Citation jet. Longitude will have a range of 4,000 miles.

The cabin will have a flat floor and six feet of headroom, and will seat eight in double club seating. The cabin also features a galley, a spacious lavatory and a large baggage area.  The Longitude is manufactured in Wichita, Kansas.  The engines on this aircraft are said to be industry leaders in fuel-efficiency, weight and manageability.

At 86-feet wide and 87-feet long, the Longitude is expected to be in service by 2017.
