Hi, are you
interested in knowing more about this Cessna Citation X? Me too! That’s why I
decide to write this review about Citation X so you can learn more from this
article. Please keep in mind that I do not have any affiliate with Cessna, so I
am not promoting their aircraft. I can guarantee you that this is an honest
review. Then let’s continue!
The Citation X Development and History
At 1993,
Cessna announced the Citation new 750 family, called Citation X, to replace a
slower and smaller baggage room 650 family series, like Citation III. At that
time, the brand of Cessna was well-known for its best handling, which result in
a slower airplane. Their main competitor, the Bombardier Learjets family was
already known for their speed. With this Citation X, Cessna want to change the
image of slow aircraft, even though the Citation is claimed as the fastest in
the sky.
And
finally, the first Citation X was complete in July 1996 and delivered to Arnold
Palmer, a legendary golfer. From time to time, Cessna Citation X breaks many
speed records. Thus it was awarded with many awards. Cessna then did an upgrade
in October 200 to add more thrust power in maximum takeoff weight.
Cessna Citation X Specs
Two Rolls
Royce AE3007C2 turbo fan engines push the Citation X with a dual channel
controlled engine. This Rolls Royce engine’s bypass ratio is 5:1. With a length
of 22.05 m, height of 5.84 m, wingspan of 19.38 m, Citation X can takeoff with
a maximum weight of 16,374 kg.
With those
two powerful engines, Citation X has a maximum record speed of 0.935 Mach or
equals to 978 km/h. This speed makes it as the fastest civilian private
aircraft in the sky. Can take up to 1,930 gallons fuel, Citation X can fly to a
maximum range of 6,351 km.
Its cockpit
deck is equipped with a Garmin® G5000™
avionics suite, all with touch screen controllers. The pilot can see the
traffic coming from far miles away, 3D terrain, and weather patterns. Garmin
also gives the Citation X the Garmin’s Synthetic Vision Technology, which
allows the pilot to view the terrain such as water, traffic, any obstacles,
runways, and landing condition, even in the zero visibility condition.
Citation X Interior
Please note
that this is not a single crew aircraft, so it takes two pilots to fly this
airplane. The maximum number of passenger is 12 persons. Tailored to your
request, Cessna will specifically design your cabin, from formal office to
personal heaven. Its cabin technology is supported by Clairity™, an intelligent
cabin management and entertainment connected with the electrical systems and
deck’s avionics. Clairity™ allows you to control the cabin lightning, windows
shade, play any DVD, and change the cabin’s temperature.

Hello, in
this article I am gonna make a review about Dassault Falcon 900 and its specs
so if you are looking for the information, then you are nowhere to go. This is
what you really need. Falcon 900 was first produced in 1984 and they still make
it today. This is the proof that this stunning airplane is one of the most
popular airplanes nowadays for most people.
We are
going to start from its specs first.
Dassault Falcon 900 Specs
Falcon 900
is powered by three, yes three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines, each has output of 21.13
kN (4,750 lbf). It can accommodate 2 crews plus 19 passengers with its wide
cabin. Falcon 900 has a 33.2 feet cabin length, not included cockpit and
baggage, and a width of 92 inch. It has a dimension of length 66.31 feet,
height 24.75 feet, and wing span of 70.17 feet.
With that
specification, Falcon 900 can fly at a maximum speed of 0.87 Mach and travel
range of 7,400 km with the 20,905 lbs fuel.
The Falcon
900 is the first design of its own series, started with Falcon 900, then
improved into Falcon 900-B with more powerful engine and fly range. After that
the Falcon 900EX with its revolutionary all-glass flight deck. Later Falcon
900-B was changed into Falcon 900-C.
Later they
introduced the next generation of Falcon series, which was Falcon 900EX EASy
and Falcon 900DX. The latest version is named Falcon 900LX. The 900LX is
equipped with the High Mach Blended Winglets by Aviation Partners.
Falcon 900 Technologies
The new
Falcon 900 LX is powered with three Honeywell TFE731-60 turbofans engines which
can give a 5,000 lbs power output each. That is an extraordinary performance
even under the worst condition. Falcon also has tri-jet security who provides
you a safer, slower approach and landing speed.
Its cockpit
is enhanced with the famous EASy II, the most trusted and reliable avionics
system. This man-to-machine designed superb cockpit, together with their
Enhanced Vision System, promises a safer, more efficient, and the best
awareness fly you ever have. Enhanced Vision System allows the pilot to landing
on the low-visibility land.
Not only
from the technology view, its cabin is very well designed to meet the standard
of a President. They give you a spacious, as well a sleeping promise in a long
haul flight, elegant, and flexible living area in the cabin.
Conclusion
There is also a faster version of Dassault aircraft named Falcon 7X. Find out the information about it here - glprivatejets.blogspot.com/2015/03/dassault-falcon-7x-review-quickest-jet.html
You may ask
people what mid-size business jet comes to their mind first when asked. Most of
them will answer Learjet 60. The famous Bombardier Aerospace manufactured this
amazing private jet in January 1993 and continued to 2012 when they paused the
production until the fourth quarter of 2012 to make a better Learjet 60 XR.
Learjet 60 History
Learjet 60
is the next development of the successful Learjet 55. The 60 brings a more
powerful turbofan engine and longer fuselage. Its capacity is also added to
meet the request of their loyal customers. Not to forget they also increase the
aircraft’s aerodynamic, all new wing cuff in the inboard section of Longhorn
wing, and total new body fairing. The wing cuff works to increase handling
during the landing and takeoff.
Learjet
60’s engines are two powerful Pratt and Whitney Canada 305A engines. Bringing
up to 2 crews plus four passengers, Learjet 60 can travel up to 4,454 km or
2,405 miles. Its maximum number of passenger is eight persons, and can fly with
a maximum speed of 522 mph and fly at 51,000 feet.

Learjet 60 Interior
The Learjet
60 interior is designed to meet the highest standard of living room. It
provides a wireless connectivity which allows you to working while flying. The
self service galley offers a microwave or oven, ice storage, and still many
more. The Learjet 60 is also installed with the latest entertainment system
such as LED TV, DVD player, and moving map system. All designed with the world
class standards.
The new
Learjet 60 is equipped with a new avionic system called Rockwell Collins Pro
Line 21 system. This Rockwell Collins is a fully integrated system, which
features Air Data System, Weather Radar System, Radio Sensor System, Altitude
Heading Reference System, Flight Guidance System, and many more.
The all-new
Aircraft System is also added to this wonderful business jet. This aircraft
system includes an anti-ice system plus the de-icing system, loss of any
electrical component results in no loss in the cockpit system, it takes only
ten minutes to refuel, dual wheel and anti skid brakes.
From 2006,
Bombardier stopped the production of Learjet 60 and started a new Learjet 60 XR
which conduct a more modern cabin, a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 advanced
avionics system suite, and three disc steel wheel brakes.
Learjet 60
XR is now one of the most popular business jet in the world, and in the US
alone it is number 8 most popular. You should try it too.
This
aircraft was first made in 1985, but since until now there are many people
interested in this amazing aircraft, I write this Gulfstream IV review just for you. This review
is based on information collected separately from the web, and I re-write them
to give you the most honest article about Gulfstream IV.
Gulfstream IV History and Profile
Like I have
said earlier, this airplane’s debut was in 1985, and still in production now.
Approximately there are 535 GIVs nowadays, and most of them are in great
condition. Originally the GIV is developed to meet the needs of the customers
of Gulfstream III. They wanted more fly range, more fuel efficiency, and
quieter. So Gulfstream realized their customers’ dream with Gulfstream IV.
So they
designed the wing’s weight reduction to increase range and reduce cruise drag,
and also bring more 1,000 gallons of fuel. They modified the wing contour to
the forward 65%. The outboard of the wing was also re-designed to reduce the
peak pressure coefficient, to reduce shock strength, and increase shock sweep.
The result is a 300 more nautical range.
The
Gulfstream IV got its FAA certificate in 1987. At that time, the GIV’s top
speed was 500 knots, can fly up to 4,220 nautical miles, and a maximum altitude
of 45,000 feet.
Gulfstream IV Variants
Having
success in its first design, Gulfstream has modified the GIV to meet the new
standard of aircraft. They made more variants to meet the clients’ request. For
example C-20F/G/H/J which is used by the U.S Department of Defense. The plane
is used for a cargo airplane, and 26 people can fit into the aircraft.
The next
improved version is Gulfstream G450 series. When the GIV used conventional
cockpit, the G450 is already using the phenomenal PlaneView plus the Enhanced
Vision System (EVS) and Gulfstream cursor control system. The EVS allows the
pilots to view a low visibility area, thus they can land on it, which a non-EVS
cannot do. Of course the improvements are not just those. The G450 is more fuel
efficient, more flight range, larger cabin, modern avionics systems, and much
better performance, for a lot more price then the Gulfstream IV.
Gulfstream
IV has been used in many countries to serve military and civil aviations. For
example Japan Defense Force who used it for its Air Defense. The United States
also bought it for its army, navy, air force, marine, and even NOAA.

Conclusion

If you prefer not to buy, then I highly suggest you to just rent a jet. Read more information here - glprivatejets.blogspot.com
Every man
has a dream, and one of most people have is having an airplane. Dassault
Falcon 7X is not an exception
when it comes to that dream of private aircraft. In this article, I have
written a complete Dassault Falcon 7X review which I have conducted from many resources.
Dassault Falcon 7X was first made in 2005 and still in production now, which proves itself
as a reliable aircraft. Falcon 7X, included a long range business jet, has a
price of US$ 52.3 Millions. It is the first fly-by-wire airplane in the world.
It means that the aircrafts before Falcon 7X have manual interface, and after
this amazing aircraft had been released, it became a new standard of electronic
interface, or fly-by-wire system.
Dassault Falcon 7X Specification
Falcon 7X
has a capacity of maximum 3 crew and up to 19 passengers. With a length of
23.19 metres, height of 7.86 metres, and wingspan of 26.21 metres, it can fly
at a maximum speed of 515 knots (953 km/h) and fly range of 5,950 nautical
miles (equals to 11,000 km).
Falcon 7X
has a unique look with its three clusters and three Pratt & Whitney Canada
PW307A turbofans engines, each produces 28.46 kN power. It needs a maximum
weight of 31,750 kg to takeoff.
Dassault
has made it resembles to a military fighting jet in its steady and stable pose.
As we all know, we need a stable and steady position to aim a target, both in
the air and on the ground. As a manufacturer of fighting jets, Dassault
implements their experience into Falcon 7X.
Falcon 7X EASy And EASy 2
Dassault Falcon 7X’s cabin is armed with a new avionic system called EASy. This system
allows the pilots to concentrate on where they want to fly the plane, rather
than on how to fly this airplane in the old system. Pilots choose the destination,
Falcon 7X will count the path, and pilots pick one path. The airplane will stay
in its route. What a great system, especially when we remember that this plane
was first built in 2005, not 2015.
Conclusion
Falcon 7X
is a great aircraft, in 2005 and in 2015, believe me. As a new pilot, you can
learn flying this thing safely with its EASy and EASy 2 avionic system. Many
countries have been using the 7X in their military and civil airlines. This is
an undeniable proof of Falcon 7X’s greatness.
