Description:
The Citation is a family of business jets developed by Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron owned company, to meet the requirements of customers operating from regional to intercontinental routes. Citation jets are powered by two turbofan engines and cruise at high speeds while delivering outstanding comfort to the passengers in their spacious cabins. Cessna has received more than 5,300 Citation jets orders since the program inception in 1975. As of early 2008, the Cessna Citation production models are: CJ1+, CJ2+, CJ3, Encore+, XLS+, X, Sovereign, and Mustang with CJ4 and Columbus models to join Cessna's product line in 2010 and 2014 respectively.
Citation Mustang light business jet was launched in 2002. The Mustang is aimed at the market segment typically covered by turboprop aircraft but delivering superior performance. The first production aircraft is expected to be delivered to customers in the fourth quarter of 2006 with the aircraft type certification during the same year. High performance Citation Mustang will be powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F engines provided with FADEC and rated at 1,350-lb of thrust each. This aircraft is expected to have a cruise speed of 340 knots and a ceiling of 41,000-ft. It is smaller than its predecessors.
On June 15, 2006, the first production Citation Mustang aircraft performed the maiden flight two weeks ahead of schedule. The aircraft was assembled at Cessna's facilities at Independence, Kansas. On 8 September 2006, Cessna Aircraft Company announced that the Federal Aviation Administration FAA had awarded Type Certification to Mustang business jet. The first Citation Mustang aircraft was delivered to California-based MMG on 22 November 2006.
