| History | |
| Introduction date | 1972 |
| First flight | 15 September 1969 |
The Cessna Citation is a family of business jets manufactured by Cessna that entered service in 1972.[1] In the fifty years following the type's first flight in 1969, more than 7,500 Citations were delivered, forming the largest business jet fleet in the world.[2] Deliveries reached 8,000 by 2022, while logging over 41 million flight hours.[3]
The line started with the small prototype Citation I (initially called FanJet 500 and sold as Cessna 500 Citation) flying on 15 September 1969 produced until 1985 and developed into the 1978-2006 Citation II/Bravo, the 1989-2011 Citation V/Ultra/Encore and the CitationJet since 1993. The standup Citation III/VI/VII was delivered from 1983 to 2000; its fuselage was reused in the Citation X/X+ delivered from 1996 to 2018, the Sovereign from 2004 to 2021 and the Excel since 1998. The Mustang was a Very Light Jet delivered from 2006 to 2017 while the flat floor fuselage Latitude has been delivered since 2015 and the larger Longitude from 2019.[citation needed]
The aircraft are named after Citation, a champion American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the American Triple Crown.[4]

This is a navigational template created using {{navbox}}. It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{Cessna Citation family}} below the standard article appendices.
Initial visibility
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{Cessna Citation family|state=collapsed}}will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Cessna Citation family|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Templates using the classes class=navbox ({{navbox}}) or class=nomobile ({{sidebar}}) are not displayed in article space on the mobile web site of English Wikipedia. Mobile page views accounted for 60% to 70% of all page views from 2020 through 2025. Briefly, these templates are not included in articles because 1) they are not well designed for mobile, and 2) they significantly increase page sizes—bad for mobile downloads—in a way that is not useful for the mobile use case. You can review/watch phab:T124168 for further discussion.

CitationJet (trainer)
The Model 526 CitationJet was a twin-engine, two-seat tandem military trainer developed from the Model 525 as a candidate for the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System competition (JPATS). The two models share 75% of their parts, including wing, engines, landing gear, and other systems. First flown in December 1993, the 526 did not succeed at the JPATS contest, and only two examples were built in total.[5]
