“Also piloting this week’s flight was Steve
Turner, Cessna engineering test pilot. The
Citation X is an icon of performance, and it
continues to live up to its reputation as an
exceptional aircraft delivering what owners need
and pilots want,” said Brad Thress, Cessna
senior vice president, Business Jets. “There is
no faster way to get from point A to point B
than in Cessna’s Citation X business jet. The
aircraft’s 3,242 nm range means it can easily
handle a non-stop flight from New York to
London, Honolulu to Dallas, or Singapore to
Tokyo. No other business jet can compete with
the Citation X on performance, speed and price.”
The Citation X boasts two Rolls-Royce AE 3007C2
turbofan engines, each delivering 7,034 pounds
of thrust. The Citation X is one of the few
business jets permitted to operate at an
altitude of 51,000 feet. This capability allows
the aircraft to fly above most weather and avoid
lower-altitude commercial traffic, translating
into shorter flights.
