The Citation V is known for being one of the most roomy aircraft of it's class. This allows its passengers to reach their destinations quickly and comfortably.
The Citation V, Citation Ultra, and Ultra Encore are the largest straight wing members of Cessna's highly successful Citation family. Cessna publicly announced it was developing a stretched development of the Citation II at the annual NBAA convention in New Orleans in 1987. Earlier in August 1987, the first engineering prototype Model 560 Citation V had successfully completed its maiden flight. US certification was granted on December 9, 1988, and deliveries began the following April. The Citation V was based on the Citation II/SP, but differences over the smaller jet include more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D5A turbofans and a slight fuselage stretch. It has an external baggage capacity of 46 cubic feet and an internal capacity of 28 cubic feet. This jet also features new soundproofing techniques and triple-glazed windows, making it one of the quietest light private jet cabins.
