I guess this plane compete with the straight-wing Citations. This plane looks more like a Citation One, which is the smallest of the “slow-tations.” Their TAS at cruise is about 440 mph, but they can go into a lot of airports with short runways. Cessna also makes the Citation X, which is a completely different aircraft, much larger, with swept wings. It has a cruise TAS of Mach .92 ( about 625mph at 32,000 ft.) My wife’s family’s business has a One, two 3’s and an X.

The Citation X is a really hot plane... but if I was going over 20,000,000 I’d go a little more and get a used Dassault Falcon 7, has that nice 3rd engine and 6500 mile range.

559 mph cruise, about 5,000 gallons of fuel to fill it up.

Imagine paying over 20 grand to fill up your plane.

We had a 2 then a 4 and now we have a Sovereign. We could land on some really short runways with the 2. Used to fly into Gimli, Manitoba onour Canadian fishing trips and our pilots didn’t like that runway.
