Citation Goes wide body

[ultrarunner]

So, what aircraft types would this new Cessna compete with? CL300/604/G200/G350?

Well, it's a big-cabin bird that will go 4000 nm.

If you're looking at those two tid-bits it competes in range to a Falcon 900DX and a 2000LX.

It's dead-nuts between the range profiles of a G350 and G450.

It's also a dead-heat against the CL605 (604 discontinued).

However, I suspect the Challenger has the edge in cabin width...but that's about it!

HOWEVER, IMO, if Cessna intends to compete with the Falcons or the Gulfstreams, it's going to have to cost WAY LESS MONEY. Gulfstream and Falcon can get a premium, and no one is going to pay that for a Cessna product.

I suspect it will be very easy for Cessna to grab the CL-605 buyers just from the standpoint that those buyers can $hit-can Bombardier support, and I would expect the Cessna to compete or even beat the CL605 pricing.

$27 million. Not sure how that compares.

NewmanF16...what's up brother? Don't suppose you made it down to PBI last week for the Textron GLM did you? We took a trip for y'all last year and ol' Jack personally came down and thanked us for it.. I was impressed by that.

No, I was flying reserves last week. I'm continually impressed by Jack.

That number wont get near the Falcons or G's. The CL I'm not sure...but that bird could be a seller at that price point.
