Cessna Citation Longitude
Textron Aviation’s largest jet the Longitude is gaining ground in the super-midsize market. As of the end of 2020, the company had delivered 31 Longitudes, following certification in September 2019.
Although it shares the flat-floor cabin width and height dimensions of the Latitude, the Longitude is a fairly big step up from its smaller sibling. With a maximum takeoff weight (mtow) of 39,500 pounds, the Longitude is longer, by 3 feet, 5 inches in cabin length and 10 feet 11 inches in overall length.
The Longitude’s extra 8,700 pounds in mtow enables it to carry another 3,706 pounds of useful load, most of that fuel (14,500 pounds total, or an extra 3,106 pounds compared with the Latitude). And that translates into significantly added range, enabling the Longitude to carry a full-fuel payload of 1,600 pounds (1,000 more than the Latitude) and fly 3,500 nm, compared with the Latitude’s 2,700 nm (each with four passengers).
