About this aircraft
The Citation V stretched the Citation II formula into a more capable light jet—longer cabin and stronger performance that directly led to Ultra and Encore developments.
It was a high-volume type in corporate and charter fleets through the 1990s, and straight-wing Citation manners plus broad parts support keep remaining airframes useful on mature routes. Cabins stay classic club-four executive layouts with familiar Citation ergonomics.
Still a sensible light-jet choice on classic Citation regional missions.
