Why it branches from the family
The Citation XLS Gen2 is treated as the representative branch because it captures the current branch carrying the family’s midsize charter and owner-operator role.
Variant pages stay intentionally narrower than the family page so differences in cabin, engines, mission, and market role remain clear without duplicating the full program history.
