CESSNA CITATION BRAVO
Cessna Citation Bravo: The Final Refinement
The 1997 Swan Song
By 1997, the Citation II platform had proven itself across nearly two decades. Cessna wasn't ready to abandon it. The Citation Bravo introduced Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines — more efficient, more powerful, quieter. Digital avionics replaced steam gauges. The result was an aircraft that felt modern while maintaining the Citation II's reliability.
Production ran from 1997 to 2006 with 337 aircraft delivered — the final evolution of the Citation II lineage.
