Cessna 551
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cessna 551, or Cessna Citation II, is a short- to mid-range business jet built by Cessna. It is an expansion of the Cessna 550, with slightly increased speed capability, range, and available payload. The Citation II has a two person crew and can seat a maximum of ten passengers although most flights are operated with six or fewer. The Cessna 551 has retractable landing gear and a rectangular wing design, allowing less experienced pilots to transition from small piston-powered aircraft with ease.
