The Cessna Citation X For Sale & Info

Cessna Citation X Specs & Financing

The concept of the Citation X (C750) aircraft from Cessna was first started in 1990. It had its first flight in late 1993 and received type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1996. It delivered its first aircraft later that same year to golfer Arnold Palmer.

Around the summer of 2007, this super mid-size jet had logged close to one million flight hours. Moreover, in November 2009 the aircraft completed its 300th delivery. The Citation X has also won the Robert J. Collier Trophy in 1996.

Years later, Cessna introduced an upgrade to the Citation X, which began in 2002. These upgrades improved areas of the aircraft such as the engines, avionics and more. In 2013, Cessna decided to update the aircraft again by improving the overall speed, range, longer cabin, avionics and winglets to name a few. (1)
