Cessna Citation Jet Family: Best business Jets

Cessna family of nine citation models is the world’s most popular, most proven and most trusted family of business jets. The Citations account for two of the three light and mid sized business jets in the world today. Lets explore the reason for this outstanding performance:

Citation X: Citation X is the fastest business jet ever built and it’s one of the most efficient. The Citation X can climb to 43,000 feet in just 30 minutes at its maximum takeoff weight, lifting you swiftly to transcontinental and transatlantic crossing altitudes. And the Citation X is certified to fly as high as 51,000 feet - where fuel efficiency is optimized and airline traffic is nonexistent.
Citation Sovereign: Powered by new-generation Pratt & Whitney PW306C engines, the new Citation Sovereign briskly leaps off runways that other midsize jets can't even go near. So you're free to use many smaller, less-crowded airports that are often close to your actual destination.
Citation XLS: Citation XLS (Excel) is the world’s only light jet with a stand up cabin. At maximum takeoff weight from a sea-level airport, the XLS climbs directly to 43,000 feet in just 20 minutes, quicker than any other jet in its class. With Citation XLS you can also get out of airfields as short as 3,590 feet at maximum takeoff weight.
Citation Encore: Citation Encore offers comfort and performance more than any other light jet or turbo prop. Encore flies more than a mile higher than most aircrafts – and more than two miles higher than any propeller-driven aircraft. And its per-hour operating cost is actually less than most popular turboprops.
Citation Bravo: With direct climbs to 41,000 feet, 45,000-foot operating altitudes, speeds more than 130 mph faster than a turboprop, single-pilot operation, and remarkably low operating costs, Citation Bravo deserves cheers for its performance.
Citation CJ3: The CJ3 is a remarkable combination of power, speed and flexibility. Fuel-efficient Williams FJ44-3A engines, rated at 2,780 pounds of thrust each, deliver speeds of up to 417 kts (479 mph) and direct climbs to 45,000 feet in just over 35 minutes.
Citation CJ2: The CJ2 has achieved stunning improvements in overall efficiency and performance. Its Williams-Rolls FJ44-2C fanjets offer a remarkable power-to-weight ratio, delivering up to 2,400 pounds of takeoff thrust per side, yet weighing less than 510 pounds.
Citation CJ1: The CJ1 provides remarkable mission flexibility. Its runway performance lets you get in and out of airports as short as 3,280 feet at maximum takeoff weight. And its trailing-link gear ensures cat-soft landings on even the roughest of runways.
Citation Mustang: The new Citation Mustang is a breakthrough combination of power, speed and true jet affordability. State-of-the-art Pratt & Whitney engines, rated at 1,350 pounds of thrust each, deliver speeds of up to 340 kts (391 mph) and climbs to 41,000 feet, where turboprops simply cannot follow.
