Into the future

The 1960s saw the development of more business jets, paving the way for marques that would become synonymous with luxury air travel. The Gulfstream II, for example, took to the skies in 1966, whilst Cessna’s first business jet, the Citation I, flew for the first time in 1969. As technology progressed, business jets have become faster, quieter and more efficient, but let us not forget the pioneering jets of the ‘60s, many of which remain in service today.
