CESSNA CITATION JETS CESSNA CITATION LONGITUDE 2 SUCCESS IN PERPETUAL MOTION 3 C E S S N A C I TAT I O N J E T S 4 If you asked Clyde Cessna, he’d tell you success is not a destination. It’s just the beginning. In the same way he used one aviation discovery to propel him to the next, Cessna® Citation® jets are proof success is a journey. Constantly reinventing and refining. It’s having a vision for the next accomplishment while one eye is already looking into the future. Citation® jet owners share the same perspective—success is an ongoing evolution of capability, adaptability and the agility to seize opportunity. Indeed, success is in perpetual motion. 5 “Our primary mission is to get our executives from Point A to Point B safely and quickly as possible. The Citation gives us the ability to do that.” Chief of Maintenance of a multinational lawn & garden corporation 6 THOROUGHBREDS OF THE SKY Clyde Cessna was ahead of his time. With a vision to advance the design and performance of aircraft, he was a champion of the fully cantilevered wing monoplane. He created a structurally strong design that reduced drag and laid the foundation for some of the most legendary aircraft in aviation history. In 1968, staying true to Clyde’s vision over 40 years earlier, Cessna® Aircraft Company would forever change the world of private aviation when it entered the business jet market with the Cessna® Fanjet 500. Designed to be more economical and easier to fly than other business jets of the day, it had straight wings and turbofan engines, giving it the capability to access thousands of smaller airports the competition could not. In 1972, it was renamed Citation® after the first racehorse to win the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing®. Today, Citation® is the name that has led the way in private business aviation for over 50 years and counting. CESSNA FANJET 500 “ I’m going to make this thing fly.
