CESSNA CITATION JETS Clyde Cessna was ahead of his time. With a vision to advance the design and performance of aircraft, he was a champion of the fully cantilevered wing monoplane. He created a structurally strong design that reduced drag and laid the foundation for some of the most legendary aircraft in aviation history. In 1968, staying true to Clyde’s vision over 40 years earlier, Cessna ® Aircraft Company would forever change the world of private aviation when it entered the business jet market with the Cessna ® Fanjet 500. Designed to be more economical and easier to fly than other business jets of the day, it had straight wings and turbofan engines, giving it the capability to access thousands of smaller airports the competition could not.
