The Cessna 500 Citation I stands as a compact twin-engine corporate business jet, marking the inception of the Citation family. In the late 1960s, Cessna unveiled plans for an eight-seat jet, leading to the development of the Fanjet 500 prototype, later refined and rebranded as the Citation. Equipped with twin Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1 turboprop powerplants and straight wings, the aircraft exhibited a comparatively slower cruise speed than its contemporaries. Despite not achieving the projected success, the Citation I laid a solid foundation for subsequent variants, including the Citation II.
