The Citation CJ3 is a small business jet. It much likes CJ2. It is distinguished by an elongated fuselage. More powerful engines were introduced, which saved the model from sluggishness. For quite a long time, the airliner retained its image of a slow machine. Today, this model is separated by two installed Williams FJ44-3A turbofan engines with FADEC control, which saved it from the prevailing stereotype and the nickname «Near-Jet» or «Almost-jet».
