Range 1,178 nm, 4 seats, about $5,500,000 new and roughly $1,150 an hour in fuel and maintenance.

이 노선 가격 보기 →The Cessna Citation X entered service in 1996 as the fastest civil aircraft short of Concorde, cruising at Mach 0.92 on swept wings and Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engines. Golfer Arnold Palmer, a longtime Cessna customer, took the first delivery. It won the 1996 Collier Trophy, and the later Citation X+ nudged the maximum to Mach 0.935. Its swept 37-degree wing and area-ruled fuselage were airliner technology in a ten-seat package, and the type stayed in production until 2018.

이야기 보기 →LEGEND — A true-in-1964 boast that became a myth by repetition. The Learjet 23 climbed at nearly 7,000 ft/min and could reach 40,000 ft in about seven minutes — genuinely quicker than several 1950s fighters, including the F-86 Sabre that Bill Lear's publicity liked to mention. Against a contemporary F-4 Phantom it was hopeless, and against anything since it isn't a contest. The story survives because the Learjet was built from a fighter design and behaved like one.
