Cessna Citation Sovereign

The Cessna Citation Sovereign (Model 680) is an American 3,200 nmi (5,926.4 kilometers) range business jet developed by Cessna, part of the Cessna Citation family. The Citation Excel fuselage was stretched and joined with an all-new, larger wing and more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines for increased maximum takeoff weight. Announced at the 1998 NBAA convention, it made its maiden flight in February 2002, certification was awarded on June 2nd, 2004, and deliveries began in late September. The improved Sovereign+ was announced at the October 2012 NBAA for a first flight in April 2012 and deliveries in December, with added winglets and an improved flight deck and engines.
