The Cessna 680 Sovereign is a great member of the successfully growing family of Cessna business jets. But how did it happen that Cessna, known for its general aviation workhorses, created the largest business jet fleet? The post World War II economic boom created the demand in faster transportation for executives and businessmen. The existing options were limited and airlines couldn't offer the needed flexibility in scheduling and access to smaller airports. Cessna and Beechcraft had already made their name in single piston props and even offered some twin engine options but the real fooray into the market was brought by the jet options. First business jets with a full single aisle cabin like Lockheed Jetstar, North American Sabreliner, Learjet 23 made it possible and proved that business jets can offer many opportunities. So while Beechcraft chose the way with turboprops and created its successful King Air family, Cessna decided to go jets and launched its long development of the Citation family which eventually became the world's largest family of business jets #aviation #businessjet #cessna #aviationhistory #airplane #aircraft #businessaviation

We are not brokers, and we're not a charter company. We are more, in contemporary Yiddish parlance, like a macher for aviation. With this in mind, we have an opportunity, for the right party, to downsize an aircraft without sacrificing all of that room and range. One of our vast and effective brigade of aviation professionals has an opportunity to acquire a larger jet, in the Falcon 900EX/Challenger 650 size category, however they wish to sell their Hawker 850 first. The 850 has the cabin of a mid-size jet, excellent range, and the manufacturer pedigree to impress. It is, for all intents and purpose, a beautiful aircraft. There in lies the opportunity, and I'll leave it at that. #privatejet #privateaviation #businessaviation *The photo does not represent the exact aircraft, but does the type.

Did you know the black triangle spot on a window seat in an airplane? It marks the location of what has been called "William Shatner's Seat," the seat with the clearest view of the wing. Normally, the pilot or the cabin crew walk down the cabin to have a look through the window where the triangle is located the check the position of the slats or flaps. So fly in a seat with the black triangle to get the best view of the wings! The triangle is to sign to flight attendants the exact point where the various zone of the plane start or end. The zones are used to load the passengers in order to achieve a good center of gravity of the plane for take off and landing. From this the importance to stay in the own assigned seat on the plane. #wings #aircraft #flysafe #aviationsecurity #SasidharanMurugan #Itzmemsd #aviation #airbus

🛩📊 Jet Market Monday – Cessna Citation M2 Doesn't sound like a CJ…but it is really. M2s make up 31% of all straight Model 525s. The complete name change is because the M2 replaced the Mustang as the Cessna entry level jet. The straight 525 includes the original CJ (certified in '92), the CJ1, CJ1+, M2 and the M2 Gen2 today. In total there are 998 525s in service - We need a pie chart for the 525 - I'm on it. These are light ‘duck your head as you get in’ jets seating max 7 passengers. With a range of 1,300 nm... if you live in Nebraska, right in the centre of North America, you’re just able to get to each coast east and west. if you live in Czech Republic, right in the centre of Europe, this is the ideal machine. Everywhere in Europe is accessible except Lisbon. Any pilots or Textron sales reps want to verify these ranges? It's close. Of the 307 M2s in service, 20 are for sale. 6.5% of the fleet. 27 have sold in the last six months. Next week expect the M2 Gen2 just before we stretch the M2 fuselage 5 ft to enter the world of the 525A, aka the CJ2. #Aviation #BusinessAviation #Markets #JetMarketMonday #Cessna I'm Colin, I buy and sell jets with Jetcraft.

One of the biggest considerations for aircraft buyers who don’t want to hire a full flight department is whether or not the aircraft qualifies to be flown with a single pilot. Check out a few of our favorite planes that can be flown by a single pilot: https://hubs.la/Q02ldgd60 #airplane #aircraft #privateaviation #aviation #privateplane

#ThisIsTextron: More than eight decades ago, a small aircraft company started in Wichita, Kansas, to do what others said could not be done — to build a monoplane that used a wing without supporting struts or braces. When the Cessna All Purpose aircraft took off August 13, 1927, the aviation world was forever changed. For much of the mid-to-late 20th century, the Cessna brand was one of the highest-volume and most diverse of general aviation aircraft in the world. Today, the Cessna brand, part of Textron Aviation, remains one of the most known private aircraft brands in the world with a wide breadth of products finding solutions for the novice to most advanced aviator.

Senior Technical Fellow/P&W | Composites | Private Pilot | USAF Vet | Living and Loving the LaminateLife 🙂 ✈
An American Eagle Airlines Embraer E175 checks its control surfaces before departing Reagan National airport just across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. First is the rudder (right then left then neutral), then the ailerons/spoilers (left then right then neutral), then the elevators (down then up then neutral) and finally the flaps start to come down. The control surfaces each have a specific role to play in keeping the plane flying in the direction and at the speed the pilot wants. Rudder controls yaw (moves the nose left or right). Ailerons control roll (raising or lowering or leveling wingtips). Elevators control pitch (move nose up or down). Those three working together are what turn the plane. The flaps are there to change the effective shape of the wings to allow the plane to take off in shorter distances and to land at slower speeds. Amazing to think of those small surfaces moving such large #aircraft. Maybe even more amazing is that the Wright Brothers figured out the basic control surfaces (and we're still using the same concepts) more than 120 years ago! (They warped their wings to achieve the same effect as ailerons.) American Airlines #LaminateLife #aerodynamics #aviation #HowWeFly
