--ABOUT THE AIRCRAFT | CESSNA 750 CITATION X--
The Cessna Citation X is a medium size business jet aircraft manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas. After the Customer Advisory Council proposed that Cessna Aircraft Company design a new jet model with increased speed and a pressurized baggage compartment, the Citation X program was initiated.

The Citation X is powered by two Rolls-Royce AE3007C turbofan engines with 6,764 pounds of thrust, giving it a range pf 3,111 nm with four passengers and available fuel. This jet is claimed to be the fastest business aircraft in production at Mach .935. It set multiple speed records, one of them by Arnold Palmer in 1997, when it operated at 473 knots on a 5,000 km closed course. The design of the Citation X includes larger engine intakes, which improves fuel efficiency, as well as highly swept wings that contribute to the increased critical Mach number.
