The Citation Sovereign offers today's savvy business traveler a simple proposition: Cover much more ground than the competition. In far greater comfort. Without spending much more money. If this sounds sensible to you, the Sovereign was made to fit your mission. With coast-to-coast range, impressive speed, outstanding short-field performance and the largest double-club cabin available in its class, it dramatically redefines what a midsize jet can do. This remarkable aircraft can range nearly 3,300 statute miles (5,272 km) nonstop. By every measure, the Sovereign is more airplane for your money than any other midsize business jet ever built.
So much room inside. So much roam outside.
Exterior
Excellent power-to-weight characteristics - combined with a moderately swept supercritical wing design - give the Citation Sovereign the responsive handling and versatility of a much lighter aircraft. And thanks to its superior range, fuel efficiency and exceptional runway performance, you can cover more land with fewer landings. Making it possible to conduct missions under less than ideal airport conditions, such as hot and high with a short runway, that would literally leave much of the competition on the ground.
Interior
Cover as much territory as the Citation Sovereign does, and you’ll soon come to realize that cabin comfort is an absolute necessity. As you speed across time zones and continents, the freedom to stand up, walk around, stretch out and relax is essential to keeping your mind sharp and your energy high. Not to worry. The Sovereign’s 68 inches (1.73 m) of stand-up comfort extends the entire length of its more than 25-foot (7.7 m) cabin. In all, this spacious 620-cubic-foot (17.56 m3) interior is significantly larger than others in its class.
Avionics
Fulfilling the long-range missions that the Sovereign is capable of requires a flight deck that delivers proven global avionics performance. Which is why Cessna engineers equipped it with the Honeywell Epic™ avionics suite. This supremely capable system integrates some of the most advanced navigation and flight control capabilities ever offered in this category of business jet, including electronic charts and approach plate capability. Meaning that the Sovereign won’t just take you to far-away places. It’ll take you far into the future, as well.
Engine
Excellent power-to-weight characteristics - combined with a moderately swept supercritical wing design - give this extraordinary performer the responsive handling and versatility of a much lighter aircraft. Powered by new-series Pratt & Whitney PW306C turbofans rated at 5,770 pounds (25.67 kN) of takeoff thrust apiece, the Sovereign will take you far, fast.
Take off from runways as short as 3,640 feet (1,109 m). Climb directly to 43,000 feet (13,106 meters) in just 23 minutes. Cruise at speeds up to 458 knots (527 mph or 848 km/hr) in comfort. Cross the United States nonstop carrying five passengers and full fuel - with a maximum range of 3,276 statute miles (5,272 km). Land softly on trailing-link gear with ample NBAA IFR fuel reserves. The Sovereign has taken the list of everything that midsize operators always dreamed a business jet could do, and created a Sure Thing.
Safety
There are plenty of reasons why our Citation fleet of business jets has outsold the combined total of its competition. Many of which are the same reasons why we have sold more airplanes than anyone else in history. Sure, it's exceptional performance and payload. Interior comfort, reliability and value. But it's also about the peace of mind that comes standard with every Cessna aircraft. Because with the Citation fleet, and every aircraft we build at Cessna, safety is always at the forefront.
