More about the Citation VI

After the Citation V retired from production, the Cessna Corporation introduced the Citation VI. Designed from the Citation III, the Citation VI was presented as a standardized aircraft for increased production efficiency. Included in the design considerations were the opinions and recommendations of current Citation III owners and operators. With their input, the Citation VI features upgraded engines, a renovated interior, and updated avionics, improving performance and increasing customer satisfaction. The Cessna Corporation strives to achieve comfort, performance, and reliability in their private jet designs, and these standards clearly shine through the Citation VI.

Production on the Citation VI started in 1991 and ended in 1995. 38 aircraft have been built so far.

Key Features of the Citation VI

The Cessna Citation VI has numerous configurations, but is generally equipped to accommodate six to nine passengers. The cabin of the Citation VI measures 18 feet long, stretches 5.8 feet wide, and reaches 5.9 feet in height. This private business jet features a maximum differential pressure of 9.3 psi, allowing for a sea level cabin altitude at an altitude of 25,230 feet. With this maximum differential, the Citation VI is also capable of maintaining an 8,000 foot cabin altitude at its maximum certified ceiling of 51,000 feet. The cabin area comes standard with comfortable, adjustable seats, convenient and sturdy tables that fit between the seats, and a refreshment center. More insulation is installed in the Citation VI for better heat distribution and noise cancellation. Engine bleed air is utilized for the anti-ice of the engine inlets, wing leading edges, and the windshield.
