The Cessna Citation X Experience

[ADSLISKEWL]

is it pronounced as Citation X or Citation 10?

[bradporky16]

@ADSLISKEWL yes. well sort of. Cessna has come out with a new version. the first was the citation x, pronounced ten. (shown in video) now they have the citation 10x. bigger, longer, stronger, faster, and all around better.

[127834]

Can someone please tell me what the operating costs are for the x?

[00chevrolet00]

@127834 $5.50 U.S.D per minute of flight @ 42,000 ft. Approximately 10 miles , less on the ground of course. Maintenance over $100 an hour. 1,900 + gallons aprox. $12,000 to fill er up w/ Jet A.

[slimjseattle]

Is this plane faster than a G650?

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

@slimjseattle The Citation TEN is. I'm not sure about the Citation X though.

[hawker445]

@FinalLugiaGuardian Citation X sounds cooler lol

[HollywdPatGB]

Lot of room? Compared to the Mustang, maybe. It's like flying inside a leather swathed beer can! Oh, and I calculated that the guy shown standing in the aisle must be 4' 11" (!) given the maximum height in the cabin is all of 68"...(I kid you not).

Damn nice plane, though, especially the newer ones with the winglets. Hauls ass and climbs like the dickens.

[dbflyboy917]

An experience worth taking!!!! AWWWWSOOMEE Jet!!! I took one yesterday, it was phenomenal.

[slimjseattle]

How much do these things cost for real?



[HollywdPatGB]

@slimjseattle Right around US$12 million new - depending upon equipment and interior. You can pick-up good used ones for US$7.5 million.

[slimjseattle]

@HollywdPatGB Thanks for the response. I'll have to stick with my Chevy Malibu.  Hehehe.

[appleintosh]

this is the best plane in the citiation line but it needs the cockpit features of the mustang. The engines are fine. a business jet traveling faster than mach 1 wouldnt be right

[beaman220]

Play some Bruce Hornsby.

[dmimcg]

It's a nice jet but it needs bigger engines.

[dmimcg]

The X could use bigger engines. I mean, why stop at mach 92. 

[fartinthewind13]

@dmimcg how bout mnach 2.5?

[appleintosh]

@dmimcg mach 1 is the speed of sound. no ones ever flown at mach 92

[hardincountytigers]

Haha old school promo video. Classic.

[scaremengaviation]

@jb42682 I suppose my being a realist makes me identify your comment as ridiculous..

[scaremengaviation]

@jb42682 A Cessna Citation X can cost $22M+. I highly doubt you can find an airworthy, or worth owning, 747-100/-200/-300/-400 for anywhere near that price.

[rohanA380]

Amazing demonstration

[dmimcg]

It needs bigger engines, then it would be perfect.

[Sting3733]

@dmimcg

Half the reason why this plane is so popular for companies is because of the low operating cost. If you change the engines you compromise that.

[RogerDeanSmart]

Good fast airplane, but its a "hangar queen" when it comes to maintenance. Fastest production aircraft in the world

[chris12321222]

Y arn't there any blk ppl in there?! r they sayin black people cant afford it? srry i just lyke blk ppl..

[businessguys]

Too bad the SE sales people at Cessna are morons

[cortesepiloto]

I Love Cessna

[iowahorseman]

dream to fly :D

[PierreOnes]

20 150 000$

[birgir94]

how much does one of those cost??

[boomersoonerbarret]

I love that you can actually stand up in it, you can in the VII also but the X superior to lear in my eyes

[arshdeep125]

It doesn't go Mach 0.92 IT GOES MACH 0.921 LOL xD

Very Beautiful aircraft. ^_^ Very Promising. ^^

[businessguys]

very cramped interior

[tjamro2]

The interior is not as cramped as some planes, and for a price of only 20 million dollars its a lot cheaper then other jets with bigger interiors that don't go so fast and the running costs are also a lot cheaper so you can afford to use it more. And you do have a lot of room actually in that cabin.

[polarbear60]

@tjamro2 It's very cool airplane :)

[airjus]

@tjamro2 Only 20 million?

[EasternMerchant]

@tjamro2 how much is the running cost? That is usually the killer for me. I have only 20 million, but I really can't afford high maintenance :(

[TRAVISinRENO]

lol your not going to get much more toom unless you want a comercial boeing

[Trevorpilot123]

Yeah. I just got my Cessna Citation X by Wilco. It's AWESOME

[rodrigo100330]

[jungmannfabian]

nice plane, wilco has released a citation x for fsx

[gboly2]

Irritating as hell song. Great plane though.

[marcozara93]

[hiimbrady]

@marcozara93 "Cocaine and Prostitutes" by the Private Jets

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

@marcozara93 Mach .92 is the title of the song. It is from the album Vision II a Musical Encore. I have the CD.
