August Aircraft of the Month: Cessna Citation X
Having made its first flight in December, 1993, the Citation X (Ten) has set numerous records as the fastest production business jet in the world. Flying at Mach 0.92 (about 600 MPH), the only civilian aircraft that is faster is the supersonic Concorde. Powered by two Allison Rolls Royce AE-3007C turbofans (generating about 6,400 pounds of thrust each), the aircraft can accommodate a crew of two and as many as twelve passengers in extreme comfort. The Citation X is the flagship of a long series of best-selling business jets whose name Citation is derived from the famous thoroughbred racehorse "Citation".
