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.

Conclusion

Cessna have a big success with the Citation X, now they upgrade it into Citation X+, which also called The New Citation X. This add more speed, more cabin space, more baggage, and wider wingspan. The Citation X is truly the fastest and most robust private aircraft in the business jet market available today.
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.

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.

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.

The Conclusion

The Gulfstream IV is truly a living legend. Already serving many countries for more than 20 years, and still serving, still in production line, still a waiting list. This, without a doubt, is a living proof about its performance. For its price, a used Gulfstream IV is tagged around US$ 8 million, while a new one will cost you US$ 36 million.

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.
