For years, owners of legacy Citations have felt “left behind” by newer & faster light jets even as they’ve enjoyed the comfort and reliability of a proven aircraft. No more.
With Sierra’s FAA-certified FJ44 engine enhancements, operators of Citation 500/501SP thru S550 series aircraft can have the speed and efficiency of a brand new personal jet without compromising cabin size, range or carrying capacity.
Sierra’s Citation re-engining programs include the original FJ44-2A Eagle II and FJ44 Stallion upgrades for the 500/501SP, the FJ44 Super II for the 550 series and our newest FJ44 Super S-II modification for the Citation S550 (both featuring Williams FJ44-3A turbofan engines). All these programs refit legacy Citations with state-of-the-art Williams FJ44 powerplants, dramatically boosting performance throughout the flight envelope.
A Quantum Leap in the Evolution of Citation Performance.
From the moment the Wright brothers landed, the aviation industry has been built on an unbroken string of design and performance improvements. Such is the lineage of Sierra’s FJ44 re-engining programs.
With the state-of-the-art power and economy of the Williams International FJ44 fanjet engines, Sierra has literally created a whole new class of light business jet. One that continues the Citation’s proven, pilot-friendly flying qualities, while delivering a level of performance that was previously available only on aircraft costing millions more.
As you might imagine, developing complex and sophisticated modifications like the FJ44 Stallion and Eagle II is anything but simple. Fitting a brand new high-performance engine (and all of its associated supporting hardware) into an existing aircraft is as much art as engineering. Sierra’s talented design and engineering staff spent years tracking down the highest-quality components, designing and fabricating new parts and subassemblies, testing aircraft configurations and much more. From new high-strength structural supports to newly-designed engine inlets, we’ve spared no effort to produce the most exciting and thoroughly engineered modification yet for the Cessna Citation.
The result? A virtually brand-new, high-performance business aircraft that will provide the power, efficiency and economy you desire. At the same time, the Citation’s proven airworthiness and reliable design will minimize downtime and maintenance expenses and maximize your aircraft investment.
