The Pilatus PC-24 competes against the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna CJ3, CJ4.  Note the flat floor, which is a first for the small jet market.

Why is this?  Engineering?  Physics?

Dimensions.  They made the cabin wide enough to accommodate a flat floor.  The engineering on this aircraft is excellent.  They evaluated one thousand different airfoil shapes to come up with the design of the wing and choose a blend of four. 

The large cargo door was particularly challenging and the head of the program said if we don't have the cargo door, we don't have a jet.  They found a way to make the door work and it's huge.

Cessna Citation Longitude Enters Service
by Jerry Siebenmark

Textron Aviation’s new Cessna Citation Longitude has entered service following first deliveries of the super-midsize jet, the Wichita-based airframer announced today. The clean-sheet twinjet, the largest of the Citation lineup

Textron Aviation did not disclose the recipients of the first Longitudes. Fractional provider NetJets is among the type’s biggest customers, having agreed to purchase up to 175 Longitudes, including an option to take first deliveries in the second half of this year

Powered by two 7,665-pound-thrust Honeywell HTF7700L turbofan engines, the $26.9 million Longitude has a 3,500-nm range and a maximum cruise speed of 483 knots. It seats up to 12 passengers in its six-foot-high, flat-floor cabin and has a 39,500-pound mtow.

Cessna just delivered the first Longitude this week.  This aircraft already has 175 orders from NetJets alone and is the largest jet ever made by Cessna.  Cessna waited ten months for FAA certification.

The Cessna Latitude was originally delivered in 2015 and has already made 100 deliveries.  Netjets has placed an order for 200 Latitudes.  Between the Longitude and Latitude Cessna will dominate the mid-sized cabin market.

When I was in college I worked in a little airport in Jersey near NYC. It's called Teterboro airport. It's where the rich and famous fly into to head to NYC. It's a short 25 minute ride if that into Manhattan. Many times in the terminal the only ones there were myself and a lineman at night. The choice of jet they chartered was the Learjet at the time.

Saw Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall get off one. Again, no one in the terminal but his limo driver, a lineman(jet fueler) and myself. Saw Bill Cosby and two white super model types who were with the limo driver. Both wearing very shear body suits and heels. Saw many others like Willy Nelson, Meat Loaf, and the lead singer from REO Speedwagon.

Bill Lear was probably the most important single person in business jet aviation.  The Learjet 23 is the forefather of all small business jets.  

Learjet 23 require a hushkit to legally be able to land in the lower 48 because of the noise they produce.  

Bill Lear also designed the Learstar which later became the Challenger 600 and is the basis of all Bombardier jets including the CRJ regional jets and the Global series.

I didn't mention the Lear 75 above because it's showing it's age and doesn't sell nearly as well as the newer offerings from Embraer, Cessna, and Pilatus.  Lear only sold 12 Learjets last year compared to 64 for the Embraer Phenom and 101 for the Cessna CJ series.   A carbon fiber Learjet 85 was in development, but was shelved when Bombardier was having difficulties with the CS100 commercial jet.

I looked into this, for shits and giggles one time when I was pissed at the airport, and the cost of one of those small jets will run you almost $500k a year by the time you factor in the upkeep, storage and pilot for the thing. I’d rather just keep flying first class, unless you buy one of the large commercial jets that’s coming off line. Those are cheap, relatively speaking.

I'm not implying jets are affordable, or even that anyone should buy one.  You pretty much need to be a pilot to make it make any kind of financial sense. 

This is a video of a guy who bought an M2 for business and used to fly a Bonanza on oxygen at 19,000 feet.  He says the jet is much more relaxing to fly and he uses it all the time for business. 

The M2 is the best of the entry level small cabin jets.  It competes with the Phenom 100 and Honda Jet.  Occasional the Honda jet outsell the M2, but that's only because they have heavy fleet sales.  The M2 is the clear winner in the category.

Textron Aviation’s Flagship Longitude Receives FAA Type Certification
By Rob Mark

Textron Aviation, parent company of Cessna Aircraft, said yesterday that its new super-midsize business jet, the Citation Longitude, has received its type certification from the FAA.

The new Citation Longitude includes seating for up to 12 passengers.  At maximum cruise altitude—45,000 feet—the Longitude’s cabin climbs no higher than 5,950 feet above sea level. The Longitude is powered by a pair of FADEC-equipped Honeywell HTF7700L turbofan engines.

Early in its development program, the Citation Longitude exceeded initial performance targets achieving an improved transcontinental range of 3,500 nautical miles and a full fuel payload of 1,600 pounds. The longest-range Citation delivers a maximum cruise speed of 483 ktas.

Gulfstream will be unveiling a new aircraft Monday.  Most likely a larger aircraft to compete with the Global 7500 which is the current king.  and possibly something smaller to fill the gap between the G280 and the G500 and to replace the G450 which has been canceled.

Lear has acknowledged they're getting their ass handed to them by the Phenom 300 and Citation CJ4 and are launching the Learjet 75 Liberty.  At $9.9 million, the Liberty sheds two seats in the forward cabin—for a total of six seats.  

The competition is still less expensive:
Pilatus PC-24: $8.9 million.
Phenom 300: $9.23 million.
Cessna CJ4: $9.41 million.

This is the class where jets have usable payloads and ranges.  Which means eight adults and luggage coast to coast.  less expensive jets have limited payloads and ranges.

How much does it cost to buy a Cessna Citation CJ4? Prices range between $4,790,000 and $6,900,000

Annual Budget
The total annual budget for flying a Citation CJ4 private jet 200 hours per year is approximately $661,217 or $980,824 for flying 400 hours per year

https://www.libertyjet.com/jet-ownership-costs.aspx?jetType=Citation%20CJ4 (https://www.libertyjet.com/jet-ownership-costs.aspx?jetType=Citation%20CJ4)

I still think there's a market for an airline using smaller business jets at general aviation airports.  They could fly to major hubs using a code sharing agreement with the majors.

I used live next door to a small airport with a 5000 ft runway that I saw maybe three or four airplanes fly out of per day.  I would have much preferred flying out of that airport rather than the main airport in town.

Don't forget all of the regional airplanes like the ERJ135 and CRJ 900 are just stretched business jets.  All of us have flown on a business jet with American Eagle, United express, or Delta connect.

Gulfsteam launches the G700.

The soon-to-be behemoth, known as the G700, was unveiled at the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA) annual corporate aircraft show in Las Vegas. Gulfstream Aerospace President Mark Burns said the flagship G700, priced at $75 million, would be the “tallest, widest cabin in our industry,”

It roughly has the same design criteria as the DC-3...similar passenger loads...land at a wide variety of airports.

Combine that with current materials...current engines...current everything...operational ceiling say 30,000 feet...fly somewhat  south of mach 1.

Turn the design crank...and before you can say "Form Follows Function" ...you get an update of the DC-3

That's a Dassault Falcon 20.

Lear 23 1964
Dassault Falcon 20 1965
Gulfstream Two 1967
Citation One 1969
Canada air CL-600 1980

Basically the 60's were a hot time for business jets, starting the whole industry and many of the jets of today are based on these earlier jets.  For example the nose on a Cessan M2 is the same as the Citation one.  Gulfstream's been very evolutionary in their design as well.

This is the third prototype of the CL-600, which first flew in 1978.  It's amazing what Bombardier has been able to develop this aircraft into.  The CRJ 700, 900, and 1000, as well as the Global 7500.

Delta's the only airline still flying Mad Dogs and they're retiring them quick because parts are becoming more expensive.  

Both aircraft played important rolls in American aviation.  When McDonnell Douglas designed the the MD-80 they used a type of rivet that allowed for extremely large flight cycles.  Which means these airplanes air frames can fly for years, which is the main reason they were so popular with Delta and American airlines.  The MD-80 is based on the DC-9 which first flew in 1965 two years before the 737.
