Overview
Program history
The II/SP applied the single-pilot concept to the larger Citation II lineage. It therefore addressed a different combination of cabin space and staffing from the smaller I/SP. The 551 designation distinguishes this variant from the Model 550, even though both share the Citation II name and general appearance.
