N101VW1996 Cessna Citation X

Overview

This airframe, registered as N101VW, is a 1996-built exemplar of the Cessna 750 Citation X, delivered as serial 750-0001. Built by the Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), the jet is owned by the corporate entity Quantum Aviation LLC of Fort Worth, TX, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe’s build year and serial identify it as an early production Citation X, and its corporate ownership and Fort Worth base suggest operation in charter or corporate transport roles. Notable registry actions include the aircraft’s continued corporate registration under Quantum Aviation LLC since acquisition (ownership timeline based on provided ownership data).

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical executive Citation X arrangement, with a flexible executive layout accommodating 8-12 passenger executive seating, commonly an eight-place double-club or six with a three-place divan, plus a forward galley and aft lavatory; specific interior configurations may vary with refits. Avionics aboard this original-production Citation X are typical for the type, fitted with the Honeywell Primus 2000 suite. Operationally, the aircraft’s combination of long range (3,390 nm) and high cruise speed (525 kts) makes it suited to transcontinental and long-range corporate missions from its Fort Worth operator base, with payload and cabin refinements influencing mission mix. Maintenance considerations align with the Allison AE3007C engine family and the avionics baseline, with potential interior refits affecting downtime and configuration.

Model & Market Context

As an early-production example of the Cessna 750 Citation X family, serial 750-0001 represents the airframe’s performance niche of high-speed, long-range business turbofan travel, with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft that supports efficient high-altitude cruise. Competing models occupy the high-speed long-range segment in business aviation; buyer and charter demand for Citation X airframes is influenced by engine-support programs, avionics upgrades (for example, replacing original Honeywell Primus 2000 suites), and interior modernization. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe hinge on factory serial status, engine program enrollment, and the extent of interior or avionics refits.
