The Citation VII comes equipped with two Honeywell TFE731-4R-2S engines. Each engine is rated at 4,080 pounds of thrust each at takeoff, a 780-pound increase when compared to the engines used on the Citation VI.
These powerful engines contribute to the Citation VII’s excellent aerodynamic performance, allowing the private business jet to climb to 37,000 feet in just eighteen minutes. With the trailing link landing gear systems, taxi and landing operations are a much smoother experience.
On a standard day, the Cessna Citation VII needs 4,850 feet of runway to take off and requires only 2,520 feet of runway to land.
For a swift flight, the Cessna Citation VII is capable of maintaining its high-speed cruise velocity of 459 knots at an altitude of 41,000 feet.
If your business venture requires a longer flight to a further destination, the Citation VII is capable of flying at its long-range cruise speed of 417 knots at its all-engine service ceiling of 43,000 feet.
