About this aircraft
The Citation X was marketed as the world's fastest business jet for roughly 25 years—a super-midsize speed icon powered by Rolls-Royce AE3007C engines.
Its swept wing and high-Mach cruise made time savings the selling point, not just cabin size. The later X+ improved range and avionics; baseline X airframes remain highly recognizable in charter fleets.
Book a Citation X when schedule time on long continental or shorter ocean-adjacent sectors is the mission driver.
