Overview
The Encore+ is one of the most luxurious and accommodating private jets around. Cessna always pays immaculate attention to detail, the Citation Encore+ upheld this promise with its versatility, ability to fly long distances, and take off and land on short runways, and carry a large load.
The Encore+ offers improvements and upgrades in almost every area of an aircraft including the engines, avionics system, cabin interior, and performance specifications. When compared to its predecessor, the Encore+ has a 340-lb net payload increase and higher maximum takeoff weight; longer wings and aerodynamic capabilities; and adhesive metal bonding in place of vulnerable and expensive to replace mechanical fasteners. The Encore+ is powered by two pylon-mounted PW535B engines and has a high-speed cruise of 426 knots.
The cabin length is 17.3 feet, with a height and width of 4.8 feet each. Having undergone extensive cabin upgrades, the aircraft seats five passengers comfortably, but up to eight total. Seven large windows on each side (11×15) outline the aircraft. There is plenty of storage space internally and externally, located in the forward closet, across from the aft lavatory, in the tail cone, and a ski tube in the aft baggage compartment. Total baggage space measures 71 cubic feet.
