One of the latest members of Cessna's extensive line of Citation business jets, the Citation Excel combines the cabin width and standup headroom comfort of the Citation X in a smaller/medium size package. The basis of the Excel is a shortened Citation X fuselage (the same fuselage cross section as used in the Citation III, VI and VII), combined with a modified unswept supercritical wing based on the Citation V Ultra's, the V's cruciform tail configuration and new Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A series turbofans. Other design features include trailing link main undercarriage units and a standard Honeywell Primus 1000 three 8 x 7in screen EFIS avionics package (2x Primary Flight Displays, one for each pilot, and a multifunction display). It features standup headroom and a dropped aisle that runs the length of the main cabin. Seated head and elbow room is greater than that in the Citation II and V, while the cabin length is similar to the Citation I, II, VI and VII.
The Excel was one of the first applications for the new generation PW500 series engines. The Excel's 3804 lbs(16.9kN) PW545As (derated from 4450lb/19.9kN, with a TBO of 5000 hours) are fitted with Nordam thrust reversers as standard and the engines allow it to cruise at 432kt.
Originally the Excel's model number was 560XL. The preproduction and production aircraft are 561XLs. The Excel was superceded by the XLS in June 2004. |
