The Cessna 750 Citation X [a] is an American mid-size business jet produced by Cessna; it is part of the Citation family. Announced at the October 1990 NBAA convention, the Model 750 made its maiden flight on December 21, 1993, received its type certification on June 3, 1996, and was first delivered in July 1996.
The model is best distinguished from a standard Citation by its use of a black grille (the only exterior chrome trim on a Citation II X-11 is the Chevrolet grille bowtie and trunklid badging).

Its fuselage cross section and cockpit were carried over and used in the later Citation X, Citation Excel and Citation Sovereign.

[9] 395 Citations and Citation Is and 296 I/SPs were built between 1971 and 1985. [9] [13] The aircraft were dropped from production because JT15D engine prices had increased to the point that the price difference between the Citation I and Citation II series had become minimal, causing most buyers to opt for the larger and faster II and II/SP ...
