Two Honeywell TFE731-3B-100S engines and a body designed with lightweight composites and smoothly-joined metal surfaces where necessary give the Citation VI a maximum speed of 459 knots (528 mph). The aircraft uses trailing link landing gear for comfortable landings.
The Citation VI has a standard Honeywell digital SPZ-8000 flight control system. To reduce cost and weight, Cessna equipped the cockpit with an analog autopilot instead of the digital version in the Citation III.
