Cessna Upgrades with Citation Ten

By Dale Smith

Cessna took a major step at last week’s NBAA Convention in regaining the title of “world’s fastest business jet” by announcing the new Citation Ten. Along with more powerful and efficient Rolls-Royce engines, the Citation Ten will be the debut airframe for the Garmin G5000 avionics suite. It will feature a 15-inch longer fuselage for more cabin space, winglets, a new electrical system, dual lithium-ion batteries, new avionics, autothrottle, redesigned cabin and a fiber optic-based cabin management system, including interface options for in-flight productivity and connectivity. First flight is projected in late 2011, with certification and first delivery in 2013.
