The numbers, with their conditions attached.
A manufacturer's headline range assumes a lightly loaded aircraft at long-range cruise. Publishing that figure beside a seat count is how buyers get misled, so we publish both and plan against the realistic one.

About that range figure
NBAA IFR with a 200 nm alternate, full fuel at maximum takeoff weight. Winglet-equipped aircraft reach 3,220 nm.
For planning a real trip with the cabin filled, we use 2,800 nm. That is the number the configurator on this site checks against before it recommends this aircraft for your route.
Worth knowing
- Several broker sites publish 72 ft cabin length and 19 ft cabin height for this aircraft. Those are the overall airframe length and tail height, copied out of an infobox. Ours are cabin dimensions.
Common questions
How many passengers does the Cessna Citation X seat?
8 in a typical charter configuration, with a maximum certified capacity of 12. The typical figure is the comfortable one and is what we quote against.
What is the range of the Cessna Citation X?
The manufacturer figure is 3,070 nautical miles — NBAA IFR with a 200 nm alternate, full fuel at maximum takeoff weight. Winglet-equipped aircraft reach 3,220 nm. For planning a trip with a full cabin, use approximately 2,800 nautical miles.
How fast is the Cessna Citation X?
Maximum cruise is 525 knots true airspeed (Mach 0.92). We plan flight times at 500 knots, which is closer to how the aircraft is actually flown in service.
Can you stand up in the Cessna Citation X?
Not fully. The cabin is 5 ft 8 in high, so you stoop to move between seats. On flights of two or three hours most people find that entirely acceptable; on longer legs a larger category is worth the additional cost.
