Comments: The Citation XL has the body style of the Citation X and the wing and tail of the Ultra, made its first delivery in July of 1998. This aircraft was designed for the customer that wanted a spacious stand up cabin but with the performance close to the Ultra/Encore and a price increase of 2.5 million. XLS price tag is set for $9,895,000 (2003). Preliminary data for the XLS indicates a 200-pound gross weight increase over the Excel, which allows operators to carry more payload greater distances. Maximum IFR range with two pilots and five passengers is 1,945 nm, an increase of 225 nm. The XLS is powered by Pratt & Whitney's new PW545B engines that provide 3,991 pounds of thrust each, an increase of 4.9% compared to the Excel. The XLS cockpit features the all new Honeywell Primus 1000 Control Display System (CDS) avionics system with three 8" x 10" liquid crystal displays; two primary flight displays (PFD), one for each pilot; and one multi-function display (MFD). The system's modernized displays present drop down menus that are accessed through a cursor controlled joystick in the pedestal. The Primus 1000 CDS is controlled by an Integrated Avionics Computer that contains multiple functions including the flight management system, global positioning system, flight director and autopilot. The system is also equipped with Honeywell's emergency descent mode that provides protection for crew and passenger in the event of a loss of pressurization by directing the flight control system to turn the aircraft 90 degrees to the left and descend to 15,000 feet altitude. All standard XLS avionics have been repackaged and are now stored in the nose of the aircraft for ease of maintenance.
The substantially expanded XLS standard equipment list incorporates over $600,000 of once optional Excel equipment. The nine-place interior includes a six-place center club-seating configuration, with a two-place belted couch and aft left-hand belted seat. New passenger seats have been added that provide two to four inches additional cushion width. On the flight deck, all new crew seats from Goodrich Aerospace will be standard. These seats articulate in several positions for maximum comfort on both long and short flights. The latest technology in interior switching has been incorporated as standard to control lighting, cabin temperature, window shades and audio/video equipment. Traditional cabin lighting has been replaced with LED lights, which produce less heat and are more reliable. Additional new cabinetry has been added and veneer cabinetry is now standard. Other new standard equipment includes: APU, UNS-1ESP, TCAS II, and EGPWS. Another major enhancement to the XLS is the brake control system. Cessna has improved the brakes by moving the brake fluid reservoir, accumulator and hydraulic power pack to the left-hand faring. This allows for better maintainability and accessibility.
Citation XLS+ (C560XL) Unit 6000 + (Current Model in Production)

Comments:
Citation III (C650) Unit- 0001 to 0199 and 0203 to 0206
First Delivery- 1983 ending 1991
Comments: The first Citation to feather a larger airframe size, swept supercritical wings, and totally different engines. Its maiden flight was in 1982 with production ending in 1991.
Citation IV
Intended as a "stretched" Citation III feathering a higher maximum takeoff weight. This model was dropped while in the design phase due to anticipated performance inadequacies.
Citation VI (C650) Unit 0200- 0202 and 0207 to 0241
First Delivery- 1991 ending 1995
Comments: An economy version of the Citation III that trims approximately $1 million from the price of the III. The cost reduction is achieved by among other changes, the substitution of an analog autopilot system and a standard interior. The aircraft was introduced in late 1991 with production ending in 1995. Serial CE650-0200 through CE650-0200 and CE650-0207 through CE650-0241
Citation VII (C650) Unit 7001- 7119
First Delivery- October 1992 ending December 2000
Comments: The top-of-the-line business aircraft for Cessna until the Citation X came out in 1996. The VII was being produced in late 1992 until December 2000. The aircraft has the highest thrust turbofans of any Citation with the exception of the Citation X. Serial CE650-7001 through CE650-7119
Citation Sovereign (C680) Unit 0001 + (Current Model in Production)
First Delivery- September 2004
Comments: With the new wing design the Mmo speed increased from Mach 0.78 to 0.80.
Citation Columbus (C850) Unit (Cessna Closed Columbus Project mid 2009 due to the economy)
First Flight- Project cancelled
Comments: All aluminum the Columbus will seat up to 10 passengers and cost $27 million (2008 dollars). First flight of the airplane, formerly known only as the large-cabin concept, is expected in 2011, with FAA certification scheduled for 2013 and first deliveries in 2014. In a departure from how it currently builds Citations, Cessna is outsourcing construction of the fuselage and empennage to Spirit AeroSystems. Pratt & Whitney Canada’s new 8,830-pound-thrust PW810 engine (see below) will power the Columbus and Rockwell Collins will supply its Pro Line Fusion glass cockpit. Cessna will assemble the Columbus in Wichita and act as integrator of the program. None of the suppliers is a risk-sharing partner. Performance includes 4,000-nm range at Mach 0.80, max cruise of Mach 0.85, 1,950-pound full-fuel payload and takeoff distance at max takeoff weight of 5,400 feet..
Citation X (C750) Unit 0001 + (Current Model in Production)
Flight Delivery- September 1996
Comments: Allison turbofans, a highly swept supercritical wing, and an area ruled fuselage should make this bird the fastest business jet in the world. In 2002 Cessna starting with serial number -0173 and On received an upgraded AE3007C1 engine from Roll-Royce/Allison with improved hot section parts that allow for higher ITT for takeoff, cruise and climb. Engine Inspection interval is 6,000 hours.
Features of the upgraded Citation X include an increase in maximum takeoff weight of 400 lbs, from 35,700 lbs to 36,100 lbs. The gross weight change delivers a notable increase in passenger capacity with full fuel. Citation X operators will be able to carry up to seven passengers with full fuel in a typically equipped airplane. The result of the five percent thrust increase in the Roll-Royce AE 3007C-1 engines is to significantly reduce required takeoff field lengths. With the increase in takeoff thrust on the Citation X engines from 6,442 lbs of thrust per side to 6,764 lbs of thrust. (The range and .92 mach cruise speed of the Citation X will remain virtually unchanged.
Equipment that is now standard on the 2002 Citation X includes: Honeywell’s traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS II) and enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS), a Litton locator beacon (ELT), the Teledyne angle-of-attack indicator/indexer, tail flood lights, red strobe lights, pulse-lights, a 76 cu ft oxygen bottle, a lighted chart holder, SATCOM antenna provisions, a cockpit voice recorder, VHF AFIS, and provisions for both a flight data recorder and second high frequency transceiver. Serial CE750-0001 through CE750-0172 and CE750-0173 and On
