The two new business aircraft that Cessna has introduced as part of its light jet family, along with 6 other aircraft, is a major production success that is expected to re-energize its business and corporate jet business. The first of these two aircraft, The Citation Latitude, is a superlight, 2,500nm range aircraft that has recently begun full-assembly line production. It boasts such new technological features such as automated robotics and ergonomically-friendly tooling stations.
