The CJ1 received certification in 2000. Textron produced nearly 200 before ceasing 2005. It can hold up to 8 people and has a range of 1,266 nm.
Since it is the original equipment manufacturer of the aircraft, Textron can also offer an OEM-certified upgrade that maintains the system integrity as it was originally certified. It will also be available for installation at Textron service centers.
