With the nearly two-hour flight, the CJ3 Gen3 joins the Citation CJ4 Gen3 and M2 Gen3 in flight testing, meaning all three next-generation Citation light jets are now advancing toward certification. During the flight, test pilots evaluated aircraft systems, avionics, and handling qualities, reaching 41,000 feet and an indicated airspeed of 278 knots. The CJ3 Gen3 introduces Garmin G3000 PRIME avionics, Garmin Emergency Autoland, and several customer-driven cockpit and cabin enhancements designed to improve pilot workload, safety, and passenger comfort.

RTX's Pratt & Whitney Canada has begun ground testing of its flight-standard hybrid-electric propulsion system and propeller at its Longueuil, Quebec, facility.
