Synopsis

CE-750 pilot reported receiving a Mach Trim Fail warning and numerous additional aircraft system alerts during cruise. Flight crew hand flew the aircraft to a nearby airport and after landing were towed off the runway.

Narrative

At approximately XA57; Captain and I departed ZZZ for ZZZ1 with 8 pax on board under trip number XXXX. I was in the left seat flying the leg to ZZZ. Captain was in the right seat.We had 10900# fuel onboard when we departed ZZZ and ETE was 3:28 min.Approximately 50 minutes into the flight; we were climbing from FL360 to FL430 proceeding to ZZZ; our next fix on our flight plan.During that time; we received a Mach Trim fail warning along with an audible overspeed alert. It was at that time that we discovered Display Units (DU's) 4 & 5 were black; the right-hand bus was in EMER and a slew of cautionary CAS messages were being displayed on DU 3. The cautionary messages included:BUS CTRL 2 FAILFWC 2 FAILSG 2 FAILCHECK DU 4-5PRI STAB TRIM FAILFADEC FAULT L BMACH TRIM OFFFLT CONTROL FAULTPITCH/ROLL DISCDAU 2A-2B FAILCaptain referred to the QRH in an attempt to resolve the cautionary CAS messages. It was necessary to hand fly the airplane because the Autopilot does not function without Mach Trim/Yaw damper (YD). ATC was immediately apprised of the situation; and they had us stay at FL360 while we attempted to fix the problems.We subsequently [requested priority handling] and decided the best course of action would be to land at ZZZ2. By this time; we had approximately 8700# fuel remaining onboard. ATC provided vectors and assigned altitudes to intercept the localizer for Runway XX. Conditions at that airport were VFR with calm wind. I did not immediately notice any issues controlling the aircraft. Our indicated airspeed on initial approach was 150 kts. I began slowing to established approach/REF speed using changes in pitch/power. Everything was fine until we were near the airport boundary for Runway XX at approximately 100 feet. The airplane descended slightly below the glidepath; so I pulled back on the control wheel and added power to correct. The airplane was slow to respond to pitch/power inputs. The nose of the aircraft became very heavy and it felt as if there was no elevator trim correction left after trim inputs were made.Captain then added power as I tried to raise the nose of the aircraft. The aircraft continued nose-heavy towards the runway. The main landing gear hit the runway surface very hard. Once on the runway; spoilers and thrust reverser levers were initiated to slow the aircraft down. The tiller did not function; so once the airplane came to a stop; it was not able to be steered off the runway.Operations personnel were notified of the incident at XC:13 hrs. Additional notifications were made by them to Management. Emergency fire personnel were standing by for us and inspected the exterior of the aircraft after landing. None of the 8 passengers claimed any injuries. Neither Captain nor I sustained any injuries.
