Overview
Program history
The Excel combined a larger cabin cross-section with a straight-wing operating concept suited to regional business flying. It began the 560XL line and was followed by the XLS and XLS+. This lineage is distinct from the narrower Model 560 Citation V, Ultra and Encore family.
