SUPER LIGHT JET
CESSNA
CITATION III, VI, VII
SEATS UP TO 7 PASSENGERS
As the precursor to the Citation Excel, this aircraft was designed to offer the comforts of a medium sized cabin at the operational cost of a Light Jet. As a result, the Super Light Jet Category was created.
These series of aircraft have near standing cabins (you may need to slightly duck your head), allowing enough space to move around the cabin with ease. Amenities such as a large refreshment centre and enclosed rear lavatory come as standard.
The wing design also gives the aircraft a higher cruising speed, but the trade off can mean a longer landing and take off distance required, limiting operations from some airports.
The other consideration is the wing spar which imposes on the rear seats in the cabin, reducing the overall height. Perhaps not a substantial issue for a smaller passenger group, but worth considering in the layout.
