Cessna ceased production of the Citation Bravo private jet in September 2006. The aircraft was very popular and Cessna produced 337 Bravo jets.

    Cessna first developed the Citation line turbofan powered jets in 1968. In 1976 Cessna expanded the Citation family with the introduction of the Citation I and II. Cessna produced 9 Citation family jets to expand the line from light to super-mid sized jets.

    The Bravo is certified for steep approach capability allowing the aircraft access to steep approach airports to expand the range of airports and get its passengers closer to their destinations.

The nose, cabin and tailcone baggage compartments have a total capacity of 1.54m³.The cabin is heated, air conditioned and pressurised to 8.8psi to achieve the 45,000 foot maximum altitude.
