The Citation was never expected to perform as good as it should have done with a straight-wing layout for short field performance, but perform it did and in the 400 kt – 430 kt speed range and still with quiet fan jet engines. This is the one and only Citation model to feature the TKS system. Closer up one would also notice the TKP anti-icing system along the leading edge of the wings.
The S/II also has larger Fowler flaps and they are positioned closer to the fuselage than on the II. The difference between the S/II and the original II is the extended wing root of the S/II. Although the same length as the Citation II wing, the S/II wing is aerodynamically superior with the same Super Critical drag reducing technology used on the swept wing Citation III and has longer flaps and ailerons. The -4B engines provide greater thrust at higher altitudes than the Citation II -4 engines. The Citation S/II is the faster, heavier, longer-range version of the Citation II with improved JT15D-4B engines and the aerodynamically enhanced wings.
#CESSNA CITATION X PLANE LICENSE#
So just about anyone with a private pilot’s license and a multi-engine endorsement could purchase and operate these Citations until a later IFR rating changed the ruling to two man operations. The first two early 1970's versions were the most popular because the S550 or S/II can be certified for single pilot operation, but this version also pushed the upper MGTW limit of 12,500 pounds for single pilot operations. This aircraft is the Citation ll S550, the second version released from Cessna and a stretch over the Citation l in 42ft 7in to 51ft 2in of the ll, mostly for the more cabin legroom than anything else. so take your choice as there is a Citation that will cover every marketeer's dream as Citation family consists of around 6 or 7 families of aircraft, as so they say as for no one really actually knows the real variant count, including Cessna themselves. The Citation family has quite very a wide variation of business jets in the straight wing (early models) and swept wing (later models), low, mid and T-Tail tailplane configurations, forward mounted engines, mid high mounted engines, rear high mounted engines and the aircraft has grown from the early 42ft 7in to the latest 700 Citation's length of 73ft 2in. And so it is with Carenado's latest release with the extraordinary Citation ll S550. When a new personal/private jet is released for X-Plane11, you now want to go off and have a little party for yourself, as they are usually quite rare and it is well worth celebrating the event. New list price of a Citation X is $22.925m with used aircraft currently on the market from $4.8m.įor more information on charter or purchase of Citation X aircraft contact us at or call +44 (0)2.Aircraft Review : Cessna Citation ll S550 by Carenado Take off distance is 5,140 feet and landing distance is 2,740 feet.
It has a useful load of almost 6,500 kgs and can climb to its service ceiling of 51,000ft at a rate of 3,650 feet a minute. Cessna have launched a new Citation X model with upgraded cabin facilities, new Honeywell Primus Elite avionics and more spacious cabin.Ĭabin dimension are now 7.29m long, 1.73m high and 1.68m wide. The aircraft has a stand up cabin and can accommodate upto 9 passengers in comfort. Producing 6,700 lbs of thrust, the Citation X has a max cruise of 527 knots and range of 3,242 nautical miles. In designing this aircraft, Cessna used Rolls Royce for its powerplant requirements. With the demise of Concorde, Citation X is the fastest commercial jet flying in the world today. This was to be the aircraft that changed the “slow” image of previous Citation models. Their main competition has come from Learjet in the last three decades, and so in 1990 they announced the Cessna Citation X. Cessna have always battled to compete with faster business jets in the small and mid size cabin market.
