The Cessna Citation III is an American business jet produced by Cessna and part of the Citation family. The more powerful Citation VII was offered between 1992 and 2000; 360 of all variants were delivered. Its fuselage cross section and cockpit were kept in the later Citation X, Citation Excel and Citation Sovereign.
The Citation VII has more powerful engines to improve the payload-range and hot and high performance. The cabin interior was customized to each buyer's preference, with a wide range of trim and seat fabrics, galley equipment, and in-flight entertainment options, and the aircraft came with a full-width aft lavatory that could be outfitted as a dressing room.
