Citation X aircraft background
No business jet gets you to your destination faster than the Citation X! With a cruising speed of nearly 600 mph, this midsize jet can get you from New York to Los Angeles, San Diego to Washington, DC or Seattle to Miami as much as 35 minutes faster than comparable aircraft.
The Citation X is a medium-sized business jet aircraft designed to fly at high subsonic speeds. It is the fastest business jet available, and the fourth fastest civil airplane that has ever flown, after the Concorde, Tupolev Tu-144 and the Convair 990 (and therefore the fastest civilian aircraft flying since their retirement).
The character X is the Roman numeral for ten, and thus the aircraft name continues the numbering of previous Citation jets using numerals, such as the Citation II.
The Citation X will climb to 43,000 feet in just 30 minutes at its maximum take-off weight, lifting you swiftly to transcontinental and transatlantic crossing altitudes. The Citation X is certified to fly as high as 51,000 feet (FL510) where fuel efficiency is optimized and airline traffic is nonexistent!
