The Fastest Long Range Mid Size Jet-The Citation X by Mark Fleischmann

Author: admin | Filed under: executive jet, mid size jet, private jet charter

There are many types of Mid Size Jets.  Typically a mid size jet seats 7-9 passengers.  The fastest long range mid size jet is the Citation X.  It is well suited for coast to coast chartering and has a range of 3070 nautical miles.  

The Citaiton X has a range of 590 MPH which is quite impressive!  It has a maximum ceiling of 51,000 feet. The cabin height is 5.7 inches which is average for a Mid Size Jet and has 72 cubic feet for baggage.  It can travel from NY to LA in 4 hours time.  This is no small feat as an average Mid Size Jet will do this trip in  5 hours time a savings of 1 hour.  This is truly monumental as nothing even comes close in the convential business jet category!  That is simply amazing!

The first Citation X was delivered in June 1996.  Other Citations include Citation 3,6, and Citation 7.  The Citation X uses a Rolls-Royce Engine and fully integrates avionics and flys at Mach .92.  This is by far the fastest civilian aircraft! Wow!  It also has a passenger capacity of 8-12 passengers and is still in production. This aircraft is manufactured by Cessna.
