From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia.
The Cessna Citation is a marketing name used by Cessna for its lines of business jets. Rather than one particular model of aircraft, the name applies to several "families" of turbofan-powered aircraft which have been produced over the years.
The Citation V is one of the largest straight wing members of Cessna's highly successful Citation family, together with Citation Ultra and Ultra Encore. After stretching the Citation I to make the II, Cessna decided to increase the size of the cabin again stretching the fuselage by another 20 inches resulting in the largest member of the straight-wing family, the model 560 Citation V. The first engineering prototype flew in August 1987 and certification was granted in December 1988. The aircraft utilized the T-47A's JT15D5A engines for extra performance. By the time the aircraft was suspended in 1994, 262 had been built.
The Citation V proved quite popular with 262 built through to mid -1994 before production switched to the modernized Ultra. Cessna announced development of the upgraded Citation V Ultra in September 1993. FAA certification was granted in June 1994 allowing for deliveries of production aircraft to commence soon after.
