Cessna Citation V

The Cessna Citation V (Model 560) is a turbofan-powered small-to-medium sized business jet built by the Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas. The Citation brand of business jets encompasses several distinct "families" of aircraft, and the Citation V was the basis for one of these families. This family includes the Citation V, the Citation Ultra, the Citation Encore, and the Citation Encore+. Some models are used by the United States military under the designation UC-35.

Design and development

Citation V

After stretching the Citation I to make the II, Cessna decided to increase the size of the cabin again, stretching the fuselage by another , resulting in the largest member of the straight-wing family, the Model 560 Citation V. The first engineering prototype flew in August 1987, and certification was granted in December, 1988. The aircraft utilized the T-47A's JT15D5A engines for extra performance. By the time the aircraft was superseded in 1994, 262 had been built.

Citation Encore/Encore+

Five years later, in 1998, the Model 560 was upgraded again as the Citation Encore, with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535A engines and an increase in fuel capacity. The Encore was certified in April 2000 with first delivery in late September 2000. The next upgrade was the Citation Encore+, with the addition of FADEC-controlled PW535B engines and Rockwell-Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite. The Encore+ was certified by the FAA in December 2006, with deliveries of production aircraft expected in the first quarter of 2007.

The UC-35B is the Army designation and UC-35D is the Marine Corps designation for the Citation Encore. Citation Ultra (Model 560) upgraded Citation V with JT15D-5D, EFIS instruments UC-35D Marine Corps version of the Encore. |crew=2 |capacity=7 - 8 passengers |payload main= |payload alt= |payload more= |length main= 48 ft 11 in |length alt= 14.91 m |span main= 52 ft 2 in |span alt= 15.90 m |height main= 15 ft 0 in |height alt= 4.57 m |area main= ft² |area alt= m² |airfoil= |empty weight main= 9,395 lb |empty weight alt= 4,261 kg |loaded weight main= |loaded weight alt= |useful load main= |useful load alt= |max takeoff weight main= 16,300 lb |max takeoff weight alt= 7,394 kg |more general= |engine (jet)=Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D |type of jet=turbofan |number of jets=2 |thrust main= 3,045 lbf |thrust alt= 13.55 kN |thrust original= |afterburning thrust main= |afterburning thrust alt= |cruise speed main= 430 knots |cruise speed alt= 495 mph, 796 km/h |cruise speed more=at 35,000 ft |never exceed speed main= 292 KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed) |never exceed speed alt= .755 Mach |never exceed speed more= 262 KIAS below 8,000 ft |stall speed main= 82 knots |stall speed alt= 95 mph, 152 km/h |stall speed more= 95 knots, 109 mph, 174 km/h Vmc (Minimum Control Speed) |range main= 1,960 nm |range alt= 2,257 mi, 3,650 km |range more=with 45 minutes reserve |ferry range main= |ferry range alt= |ferry range more= |ceiling main= 45,000 ft |ceiling alt= 13,715 m |ceiling more= |climb rate main= 4,230 ft/min |climb rate alt= 21.5 m/s |climb rate more= |loading main= lb/ft² |loading alt= kg/m² |thrust/weight= 0.374 |power/mass main= hp/lb |power/mass alt= W/kg |more performance= |armament= |guns= |bombs= |rockets= |missiles= |hardpoints= |hardpoint capacity= |avionics=
