The Cessna Citation X+ features winglets that improve performance and reduce takeoff roll.
It is equipped with a Garmin G5000 flight deck, including 14-inch displays that can be split for multi-system monitoring and touch-screen controllers for flight planning and systems management.
Autothrottles are a key feature, bringing the Citation X+ into territory previously held by wide-body business jets.
