CITATION SOVEREIGN
Cessna is developing the new Citation Sovereign mid size corporate jet to meet what it sees as a large replacement market for ageing business aircraft such as the Falcon 10, Westwind and Sabreliner and others.

The Sovereign is based on the Excel's fuselage and shares some common systems but features an all new wings and several other differences. Cessna opted to stretch the Excel fuselage (by 1.5m/4.9ft) to keep down costs and reduce development time. The Sovereign's eight seat cabin is the largest in its class with 40% more volume than the Bombardier Learjet 60 and 18% more than the Raytheon Hawker 800XP. The Sovereign carries up to 9 passengers and a 2 man flight crew at speeds up to 446 mph and has a range of 3310 nautical miles.
