Abstract
The CITATION NLR aircraft is a laboratory jet operated by Nationaal Lucht- en Ruimtevaartlaboratorium, Netherlands.
The Cessna Citation is a marketing name used by Cessna for its line of business jets. Rather than one particular model of aircraft, the name applies to several "families" of turbofan-powered aircraft that have been produced over the years.
