History
The Citation SII can carry 8 passengers up to 2,300 miles (2,000 nautical miles) and has a maximum cruising speed of 404 knots. Its two JT15D-4B high-bypass fan engines provide 2,500 pounds of thrust each on takeoff. The SII can cruise to altitude at 3,000 feet per minute and has a maximum service ceiling of 43,000 feet.
The Citation SII is very easy to fly due to the straight wing design which increases the ratio of lift per increment of angle-of-attack making takeoffs and landings much less complex.
