[edit] Citation product line lineage overview

FanJet 500, the prototype for the original Citation family, first flew 1969-09-15.^[1]
- Citation I (Model 500) originally called the Citation 500 before Cessna finally settled on Citation I, by which time the design had changed quite a bit from the FanJet 500. The original Citation I was one of the first light corporate jets to be powered by turbofan engines. Production ceased in 1985.^[2]
- Citation I/SP (Model 501) single-pilot operations^[3]
- Citation II (Model 550) a larger stretched development of the Model 500. Initially replaced by the S/II in production, but was brought back and produced side-by-side with the S/II until the Bravo was introduced.^[4]^[5]
  - T-47A - The U.S. Navy purchased 15 modified Citation II aircraft and operated them as trainers. After most of the aircraft were destroyed in a hangar fire, the remaining aircraft were retired in favor of the T-39.
  - Citation II/SP (Model 551) single-pilot operations^[4]^[6]
    - Citation V (Model 560), growth variant of the Citation II/SP JT15D5A^[7]^[8]
      - Citation V Ultra (Model 560) upgraded with JT15D5D, EFIS instruments^[8]
        
        Citation V Ultra Encore (Model 560) upgraded with PW535A engines and improved trailing-link landing gear^[8]
        
        Citation Encore+ (Model 560) includes FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and a redesigned avionics system. Granted certification in December of 2006.^[8]
  - Citation S/II (Model S550) incorporated a number of improvements, especially an improved wing. Replaced the II in production.^[4]^[9]
  - Citation Bravo (Model 550) updated II and S/II with new PW530A engines, landing gear and Primus 1000 avionics.^[10]^[11]

Citation III (Model 650) all-new design.^[12]^[13]^[14]
- Citation IV was a proposed upgrade of the III, but was cancelled by Cessna.^[12]
- Citation VI (Model 650) was a low-cost derivative of the III which had a different avionics suite and non-custom interior design.^[12]^[13]
- Citation VII (Model 650) is an upgrade of the III, and is a current production aircraft.^[12]^[15]

Citation X (Model 750) (X as in the Roman numeral for ten), an all-new design, the fastest civilian aircraft in the world since the retirement of Concorde.^[16]

Citation Excel (Model 560XL), utilized a shortened Citation X fuselage combined with the V Ultra's straight wing and the V's tail; used new PW545A engines.^[17]^[18]
- Citation XLS, evolved from the Excel
- Citation XLS+ which includes FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and a redesigned avionics system.
- Citation Sovereign (Model 680), utilizes a stretched version of the Excel's fuselage with an all-new wing.^[19]^[20]

CitationJet (Model 525) essentially an all-new design, the only carry-over being the Citation I's forward fuselage.^[21]
- CJ1 (Model 525) Improved version of the CitationJet^[21]
  - CJ1+ (Model 525) Improved version of the CJ1 with new engines^[22]^[23]
- CJ2 (Model 525A) Stretched version of the CitationJet^[21]
  - CJ2+ (Model 525A) Improved version of the CJ2 with increased performance.^[24]
  - CJ3 (Model 525B) Increase in size and performance^[25]
  - CJ4 Re-engined with Williams FJ44-4^[26]

Citation Mustang (Model 510), a new Very Light Jet (VLJ), even smaller and lighter than the CitationJet I meant to compete with the new breed of VLJs from Embraer, Eclipse Aviation, and Adam Aircraft Industries.^[27]

Cessna CitationJet

The Cessna CitationJet, or CJ series (model 525) is one of six families of Cessna Aircraft's Citation brand of business jets, and is currently in production.

[edit] CitationJet development

1994 Cessna CitationJet, serial number 057, taxis after landing at Mojave Spaceport

The original CitationJet, model 525, was formally announced at the 1989 NBAA convention.^[28] With the announcement, Cessna renewed the design philosophy that had led to the original Model 500 Citation, which had ceased production without a replacement in the product line five years before.^[1] Within three days of the announcement, Cessna had received 53 orders for an aircraft that wouldn't even make its first flight for almost two more years.

The first flight of the prototype CitationJet occurred in April, 1991, and the first customer took delivery almost two years later, in March, 1993.^[28]

[edit] Citation CJ1

In the fall of 1998, Cessna announced a series of upgrades to the model 525, including newer avionics and a 200 pound max gross weight increase, along with a new name, the Citation CJ1.
