About the Cessna Citation X
Type certificated 1996 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet
Overview
The Cessna Citation X (Model 750) is a super-midsize business jet built around speed. Its 37-degree swept wing and two Rolls-Royce AE3007C1 turbofans of 6,764 lbf each were engineered to cross the country quickly: certified to a 51,000 ft ceiling, it cruises at 525 kt near its Mach 0.92 limit, above almost all traffic and weather. The base Citation X flies on the AE3007C1; the later Citation X+ re-engined to the more powerful AE3007C2 and stretched the cabin.
For the owner stepping up from a light or midsize jet, the X is a genuine time machine: roughly 3,125 nm of range covers transcontinental and many transatlantic legs non-stop, and the high cruise speed turns long coast-to-coast legs into noticeably shorter days. That speed comes with a crew requirement and a fuel bill. The X carries a two-pilot minimum and a type rating, needs over 5,000 ft of runway, and burns about 386 gph for a roughly $4,736 hourly direct operating cost. Choose the Citation X when outright speed across long legs is the mission, you already operate with a professional two-pilot crew, and you accept higher fuel burn and a narrower cabin than a purpose-built wide-body super-midsize.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- High cruise speed: Cruises at 525 kt, near its Mach 0.92 limit, turning long transcontinental legs into shorter days.
- FL510 ceiling: Certified to 51,000 feet, it operates above commercial traffic and most weather.
- Transcontinental range: Roughly 3,125 nm, enough for coast-to-coast or many transatlantic missions non-stop.
- Hydraulic flight controls: Hydraulically powered primary controls with artificial feel give stable, predictable handling at high cruise speeds.
Trade-offs
- Operating cost: The Rolls-Royce AE3007 engines and complex hydraulics make the X expensive to run, about 386 gph and a roughly $4,736 hourly direct operating cost, well above the lighter Citations.
- Narrow cabin: It carries the Citation III fuselage cross-section, so the cabin is narrower than a purpose-built wide-body super-midsize and feels tight on long legs.
- Runway requirements: The highly swept wing raises approach speeds and needs over 5,000 feet of runway, well beyond the straight-wing Citations.
- Crewed operation: A two-pilot minimum crew and type rating put it above the owner-flown CitationJet tier in cost and training commitment.
