Cessna Citation I (CE-500)
The Cessna 500 Citation I saw early success in the small business jet market. As the Fanjet 500 prototype was upgraded in 1976, the Citation I was introduced with higher gross weights, Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1A turbofan engines and increased wing span wing.
Delivered in early 1977, the Cessna 501 Citation I/SP was certificated for single pilot operations allowing for lower per-mile operating costs comparably to contemporary models.
The Cessna Citation I is still a staple in the business jet market that services worldwide operations.
