Affirmation, including an absolution for single pilot operation, was conceded that July. Upgrades were fundamentally flight optimized, including another wing outlined utilizing supercritical engineering produced for the Citation III (depicted independently), in addition to Jt15d4b turbofans. The S/II at first supplanted the II in generation from 1984, however the II came back to the lineup from late 1985, and both variations stayed in creation until the presentation of the Bravo.
