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. The Citation V proved quite popular, with 262 built between 1987 and 1994. Production ended with the introduction of the Citation Ultra, and by 2018, the Citation V was priced at $1.1-1.6M.
