Cessna claims the Citation X will be the world’s fastest civilian aircraft. Other improvements to the X include winglets, a range of 3,424nm and a Garmin G5000 avionics system.
“The increased range translates into an aircraft which can easily handle the flight from New York to London,” Cessna says.
