The Citation V is an S/II model stretched 1.7' and powered by larger JT15D-5A engines, making it 22 knots faster. The S/II and V share identical wings, the V's wing being de-iced by bleed air-heated inboard panels and silver low-profile de-ice boots on the outboard panels rather than the S/II's glycol de-icing. The Citation V also has two additional baggage compartments. This aircraft can be RVSM certified when Service Bulletin SB-560-34-97 is complied with.
