Citation X Performance

Aircraft Range

3,300 Nautical Miles

Cruise Speed

604 MPH

A number of carefully calculated items went into making the Citation X one of the fastest private business jets available today, including its two FADEC-equipped Rolls-Royce AE3007C1 engines, highly swept wings and T-tail, and area-ruled fuselage for efficient transonic flight designed through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics. These attributes combine to produce an aircraft capable of speeds up to Mach .92 (about 604 mph), supreme fuel efficiency, and an excellent range making transcontinental flights across the US and trans-Atlantic flights a great option. The Citation X also features a glass cockpit with a Honeywell Primus 2000 EFIS avionics suite.
