Cessna 510 Citation Mustang
Product Details
- The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang, also known as the Model 510, stands out in the world of very light jets (VLJs). Launched at the 2002 NBAA convention, the Mustang carved a niche in business aviation. It first flew on April 23, 2005, and earned FAA-type certification on September 8, 2006. This agile jet, powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofans, produces 1,460 pounds of thrust each. Consequently, it can reach a top speed of 340 knots (630 km/h). With a range of up to 1,167 nautical miles (2,161 km), the Citation Mustang excels in point-to-point VIP transport. Moreover, its design features a swept low-wing, T-tail, and retractable tricycle gear, making it adept at operating from shorter runways. Furthermore, its compact size and efficient fuel consumption enable access to airports that larger jets cannot reach, thus reducing ground travel times. Additionally, the Mustang can comfortably accommodate up to four passengers and includes modern avionics, like the Garmin G1000 system. Although production ended in 2017 due to competition from Cessna’s own Citation M2, the Mustang remains popular for business and personal transport, air ambulance, and flight training roles. Consequently, this timeless aircraft continues to be a top choice in the aviation industry.
