Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Citation II

Introduced in 1978, the Citation II used a longer fuselage and larger wing than the Citation I. The later Bravo modernised this branch of the family with new engines.

Citation Bravo

The Bravo provides a seven- or eight-seat light-jet cabin with separate baggage storage. It is a useful regional option when cabin practicality matters more than outright speed.

Citation Ultra

The Ultra combines a relatively long light-jet cabin with good cruise speed. Its narrow aisle and low ceiling remain those of a compact jet, despite the extra seating length.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The Citation II answered demand for more room than the original Citation could provide. Cessna lengthened the cabin, increased the wing and fitted more powerful engines while retaining the straight-wing layout. It was an important intermediate step: the later Bravo modernised this size of aircraft, while the Citation V carried the stretch concept further.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.45 m.

Will my aircraft have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
