A look inside world's fastest passenger plane Cessna Citation X (watch pics)

New Delhi: The Cessna Citation X is a long-range medium business jet aircraft with a maximum speed of 1155 km per hour. This has been recognized as the fastest civil airplane in the world.It has been created by American general aviation aircraft manufacturing firm Cessna.Despite Cessna's long history of building business jets and the number of aircraft in the Citation family, the Citation X was in many ways a completely new aircraft.In 2010, Cessna initiated a major update of the aircraft, the Citation Ten, which includes upgraded AE3007C2 engines with new fans, Garmin G5000 flight displays with three 14 inch screens and a head-up display.The Citation X has flown over 1,300 hours as part of its test program that included the high-speed testing regimen.Its first flight was completed on January 17, 2012.The Citation X can climb to 51,000 feet and cruise at incredible speeds of up to Mach 0.935 (1,155 km per hour). The fact that it gets you back on the ground sooner may be bittersweet, however, because this jet comes with a reimagined, smart plane interior you may never want to leave. A significant amount of effort throughout the design process was directed towards reducing the Citation X's total drag.With smartphone-like touch-screen controllers, the flight department can customize how data is presented, see dimensional renderings of terrain, know precise weather patterns, and see traffic coming from literally miles away.Three multipane, widescreen displays enhanced with Garmin's Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) make up the primary and multifunction flight displays.The Citation X cabin has broken the category boundary with one of the widest, most spacious, and most luxurious interiors ever crafted for a Citation. Densely pillowed seats with wide cushions furnish the standard configuration with plenty of head and shoulder room built-in.Due to a 1.4% improvement in Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and increased thrust, Cessna is advertising an increase in payload of 97 kg, an increase in cruise speed at FL490 from 460 to 479 knots, and a range increase of 352 km.
