One of the largest and most spacious light jets, the Cessna Citation V is also equipped with an impressive range of 1,760 nm, accompanied by its short runway requirements.

Able to service six passengers, the 17 foot long Cessna Citation V cabin provides a full private lavatory.

The Cessna Citation V is a business jet built by Cessna.

Stretched from the Citation II, a Model 560 prototype flew in August 1987, it was certified on December 9 1988, and delivered from April 1989.

Cessna Citation V Performance

The Citation V comes standard with two Pratt and Whitney JT15D-5A engines. Each engine is rated at 2,900 pounds of thrust each.

With these powerful engines, the Citation V needs only 3,160 feet of runway to take off and 2,230 feet of runway to land on a standard day.

For a swift flight, the Citation V is capable of maintaining its high-speed cruise speed of 425 knots at an altitude of 35,000 feet.

If you would like to make the most of this aircraft’s range, the Citation V can fly at its long-range cruise speed of 350 knots at its maximum certificated service ceiling of 45,000 feet.

With an impressive range of 1,760 nautical miles, the Citation V is more than capable of fulfilling your business needs.
