THE CITATION XLS+.
THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER BUSINESS JET ON THE PLANET.
Once in a while one comes across a clear improvement on a good thing. In this case, a great thing. The Citation XLS+. The "plus" means we've taken the world's best-selling business jet and made it even better. Building on the combination of cabin comfort and straight-wing performance that made both the Excel and the XLS such smashing successes, we've added more of what matters most. More space, more power, and more features. All the things that make it a favorite of private owners and fleet operators year after year.
FEATURES
SHIFT YOUR LOVE OF FLYING INTO HIGHER GEAR.
It may not be possible to perfect an aircraft design—something can always be made better—but the XLS+ comes about as close as any jet we've ever built. Note its more distinctive, sharper nose, and the straight wings with graphite composite flaps that give the XLS+ an easy-going disposition in flight along with excellent short field performance. We also made the XLS+ maintenance friendly, designing every system with simplicity and easy access in mind. Of course, like all models in the Citation line, the XLS+ takes safety seriously. But don't be fooled. Safe doesn't mean slow. Together, the twin Pratt & Whitney turbofans pack more than 8,200 lbs. of heart-thumping thrust.
Chances are the same qualities that have made the XLS+ the world's best-selling business jet also make it an attractive choice to meet your mission needs. The XLS+ fuses transcontinental range, big-cabin comfort for eight passengers, and remarkable straight-wing efficiency, all in a midsize jet that comes loaded with features generally reserved for aircraft costing millions more. With so much affordable lift at your command, you can feel good about putting your XLS+ to work across the country or across the border.
