Cessna Aircraft Company has selected the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F engine as the power plant for the new Citation Mustang. Each PW615F engine provides 1,350 lbs of thrust flat rated to ISA 10°C. The engine incorporates a dual-channel FADEC, along with the latest technology materials and design.

“The competition for the Mustang engine contract between Pratt & Whitney Canada and Williams International resulted in two excellent proposals,” said Charlie Johnson, Cessna president and coo. “We have a long-standing working relationship with both companies and would have been comfortable with either proposed engine.

After thoroughly reviewing performance, aftermarket support and pricing, we concluded that

Pratt & Whitney Canada best met our demanding criteria for the Mustang programme.

The PW615F engine will enable us to meet all the published performance specifications.

“Now that we have selected the engine, we are concentrating our attention on the avionics package,” Johnson added, “and we expect to make a decision by the end of the first quarter.”
