Cessna's Citation X will have an all-new interior beginning
in 2004. Its interior has been upgraded to provide "increased
passenger comfort, style and maintainability," says Cessna.
A particular upgrade of note is four additional inches of hip
space in each passenger seat, developed and certified by Cessna's
computer-simulated design method.
Throughout the interior, contemporary furniture features pin-in/pin-out
attachment hardware that improves maintenance fit and finish.
In addition, lighting, cabin temperature, window shades and audio/video
equipment will be operated by the latest LED technology, which
produces less heat and is more reliable than traditional cabin
lighting, says Cessna.
On the flight deck, all-new crew seats from Goodrich Aerospace
will be standard. The seats articulate in several positions for
maximum comfort on any length of flight.
New options on the 2004 Citation X include the Max-Viz Enhanced
Vision System (EVS) and Aircell satellite telephones.
The upgrades will be incorporated at s/n 225. Cessna anticipates certification
and first customer deliveries in 2004. Currently, 216 Citation Xs
are in service, with over 424,000 fleet hours.
