Cessna Aircraft Co. is aiming its Model 680 Citation Sovereign at a gap that exists in the traditional midsize cabin business-jet segment, and has scheduled FAA certification for late this year, followed by initial customer deliveries. The twin-engine Sovereign will compete chiefly against the Raytheon Aircraft Hawker 800XP and the Gulfstream 100 as well as larger midsize cabin jets at the upper end of the market, such as the Falcon 2000 and Gulfstream 200. The Sovereign's cabin will accommodate 8-11 people, depending on seating configuration.
