The Cessna Citation 1 is the original, turbo-fan-powered business jet in what has come to be a successful line of aircraft. The entry level plane penetrated the market with its ability to operate out of short airfields and at modest speeds all while remaining economical for any company who required it’s services.
The changes that were made after many years helped change this into one of today’s most popular private jets because everything from thrust reversers on up are designed so that they can do their job efficiently without causing undue stress or wear and tear on components during operation.
