The UC-35 is the U.S. military designation for the Cessna Citation 560 series, utilized primarily as an executive transport aircraft by the U.S. Army (UC-35A/B) and the Marine Corps (UC-35D). This small business jet features twin aft-mounted turbofans and is derived from the Citation S/II. The original Model 560 prototype, a stretched version, flew in 1987 and was certified in 1988. Later versions included the upgraded Citation Ultra and the Citation Encore/Encore+, which featured PW535 turbofans.
Cessna, the manufacturer, is a foundational company in aviation history, established in Wichita, Kansas. Founded by Clyde Cessna in the 1920s, the company has a long legacy of designing and manufacturing aircraft, ranging from popular single-engine general aviation planes to successful business jets like the Citation family.
