Aimed at the mid-size business jet market, the Citation
Ascend is designed with an entirely new cockpit,
improved performance and a more luxurious cabin that
seats up to 12 passengers – alongside fuel-e昀케cient
engines that o昀昀er a four-passenger range of 1,900nm.
This e昀케ciency means customers can easily travel
between London and Athens or Helsinki and Porto.
The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545D engines are also
equipped with a Full Authority Digital Engine Control
(FADEC), which enables new autothrottle technology
and provides better fuel e昀케ciency, increased thrust
and longer time-on-wing.
The Citation Ascend, the latest aircraft in the 560XL
series, is expected to enter service in 2025. This
series is the most successful business jet of the 21st
century, with a 560XL aircraft taking o昀昀 or landing
every two minutes somewhere in the world.
The all new Cessna Citation
Ascend from Textron Aviation.
