The Cessna Citation VII is an upgraded version of the Citation III, which was the first of the Model 650 series of Citation jets. This 650 series are mid-sized, high-performance business jets capable of flying non-stop from New York to Colorado.
The Citation VII took a big step forward in performance, offered a number of improvements including more powerful engines for improved performance. The first prototype flew in February 1991 and was certificated in January 1992. The Citation VII remained in production until 2000.
The 650 series was designed to supplement the much smaller Citation I and II and development began in 1978. It featured a swept supercritical wing optimized for high speed long range flight, new Garrett TFE731 turbofans, a Ttail, and a new fuselage with much larger passenger and baggage capacity.
