Citation X+ Pilot Report

When it came time for a refresh of the Citation X, Cessna could have taken the existing airframe and updated the avionics, added winglets and redesigned the interior–as it did with other recent “plus” models such as the Sovereign+ and CJ3+–but engineers were able to unlock more performance when they created the X+. The result is a longer cabin and better performance, including a Mach-maximum operating speed (Mmo) of 0.935, which makes the Citation X+ the fastest civil airplane, a crown it will likely wear until a supersonic business jet hits the market.
