It’s still fairly unclear why the Concorde went the way of the dodo — after all, it hopped between New York and London in half the time of regular airliners, and, as the saying goes, time is money. Well, now there’s a replacement to fill the gap in the market: the brand new Cessna Citation X, the fastest private jet on earth.

Fastest Private Plane

The Cessna Citation X was certified by the FAA at mach 0.935, or 617 mph, officially making it the world’s fastest private jet. Real talk: That means you could fly from New York to LA in around four hours or less. And you don’t even have to wonder what kind of crappy food the airline’s serving!

Why so fast, you ask?

Well, apparently the exaggerated sweepback of this bird’s wings makes it faster than Speedy Gonzales. Physics nerds know that means delayed drag and increased performance; for the rest of us, it just means this aircraft goes fast. Because it was designed to go really fast.

The plane’s powerful, titanium-bladed engines are made by a little company you’ve probably heard of called Rolls-Royce. The luxury sky vessel also uses fully integrated avionics.

The Cessna Citation X has all touchscreen controls for lighting, window shades, temperature, audio and video, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity.

Hand-finished details come standard in its luxurious cabin, which can be completely customized in a selection of hardwoods, metals and leathers.

What are you waiting for? You, eight buddies and a cute flight attendant could be swilling champagne, having a personalized menu, and halfway to Miami right now!
