The Cessna Citation Sovereign, Model 680, is an American business jet in the Citation family. Announced at the 1998 NBAA convention, it made its maiden flight in February 2002, received certification on 2 June 2004 and began deliveries in late September 2004. Cessna stretched the Citation Excel fuselage and joined it to an all-new, larger wing with more powerful Pratt and Whitney Canada PW306C engines, giving a range of 3,200 nautical miles. The improved Sovereign+, with winglets, an improved flight deck and engines, first flew in April 2013 and began deliveries on 23 December 2013. In March 2021 Cessna announced that Sovereign+ production had ended, to reduce overlap with the Citation Latitude and Longitude, after 349 Sovereign and 94 Sovereign+ aircraft had been produced.
