The only good looking Citation, looking even better!!

I saw it in the metal at Wichita.Thats quie a flattering photo but to be honest up close it looked very strange.I dont know if they´re revisiting the project but I was told by Cessna at the time they were abandoning it as the problems and costs involved outweighed the performance advantages.

To relay HS125 : Quote from Cessna, 2005
 

"While some manufacturers have
used winglets in an effort to improve
performance, earlier wind tunnel
studies confirmed that they do not
benefit a high aspect ratio wing like the
Citation X's. In fact, the profile drag of
a winglet can actually increase total
drag. Other potential disadvantages of
winglets include reduced Dutch roll
stability, the potential for high Mach
buzz due to airflow separation, and
increased risk of damage while parking
in congested hangars."
