Operational Context

Cessna Citation X Plus — high-speed super-midsize business jet

The Citation X Plus first flew in 2012 and entered service in 2014. It builds upon the original Citation X with improved engines and a redesigned cockpit. The aircraft features a highly swept wing optimized for high subsonic cruise speeds.

Powered by two Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 turbofan engines producing approximately 7,034 pounds of thrust (31.3 kN) each, the Citation X Plus cruises at up to Mach 0.935, approximately 525 knots (972 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 36,600 pounds (16,600 kg). The cabin typically seats eight to twelve passengers depending on configuration.

The Citation X Plus holds a reputation as one of the fastest business jets in regular service. Its speed reduces travel time on long domestic routes. The aircraft remains a benchmark in the super-midsize performance category.
