TEXTRON AVIATION CESSNA CITATION ASCEND

The Citation Ascend will be the third iteration of the very successful 1998 Citation Excel (Model 560XL).

The 2025 model will feature enhanced performance capabilities enabled by new higher-thrust Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545D engines.

The state-of-the-art cockpit will feature a Garmin G5000 avionics suite similar to the Cessna Latitude and Longitude. A significant upgrade from the older Citation XLS+ Collins Aerospace Pro Line 21.

The Citation Ascend will be powered by a new Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545D engine designed to deliver better fuel efficiency, increased thrust and longer time-on-wing. The engines use new materials and technology including a more efficient high-pressure compressor, an enhanced single stage high-pressure turbine module, and an upgraded exhaust mixer. The PW545D engines are also equipped with a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), enabling the new autothrottle technology and ensuring they operate at their maximum efficiency and with reduced pilot workload
