Cessna Citation CJ2+ Gains World Speed Record

Fastest Time On Flight From Reykjavik To London

The National Aeronautic Association on Tuesday presented a world speed record to Eric Norber for a flight from Reykjavik, Iceland, to London in July in a Cessna Citation CJ2+. The speed record — 2:48:14 — was over a recognized course for a jet aircraft between 3,000 and 6,000 kilograms (FAI code C, C-1, e, III).

The Citation CJ2+ is part of the CJ family of light business jets from Cessna. The CJ2+ carries six passengers in the main cabin and has a 1,600-nautical mile range and a top speed of 418 knots.
