Why Cessna Citation Mustang Failed

The Citation Mustang is one of the best single-pilot very light jets in the world, produced between 2006 and 2017 by Cessna. With a total of 479 aircraft built, it is a sophisticated jet with an excellent fit and finish, a friendly pilot interface, on-time performance, and a spacious and comfortable cabin. Like many other light jets, the Mustang is approved for single-pilot operation, and pilots are required to have a type rating to fly the Mustang. However, this success was short and Cessna ended production of the design in May 2017 due to a lack of customer demand for the aircraft as a result of competition from the company's own Cessna Citation M2. While offerings from Embraer, Cirrus, and Honda are clean sheet designs built specifically to attack the Very Light Jet market, the Citation Mustang is simply another iteration of a tried and tested family with half a century of market presence.

479 in 11 years is not a failure

@losDbrikashaw 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t think it failed… we really made a good chunk of them but with the longitude and other factors we ran out of production space

The Mustang was not cancelled because of lack of demand! Scott Ernest (Cessna president) made the decision to kill the program because of the lower profitability of the design compared to the 525 series. Yes, sales fell to zero but that was only because they raised the price and pulled ALL sales efforts.

This guy is just after click bait. The mustang was never a failure. Cessna wanted to move more up market and focus on larger jet aircraft. Nothing that fails lasts over a decade.

I would not classify this as a failure, 479 JETS inside of 10 years is actually quite successful. What it seems like to me is it ran into obsolescence, the M2 replaced it and is a better product in every way. There are other manufacturers that would love to have made and sold 479 aircraft in 10 years. I mean not everything can sell like a Cessna 172, or a Piper Archer, or a Beechcraft King Air.

It is an excellent aircraft and still in demand as a great value. The CJ line basically replaced it with updated models. So, your premise is incorrect.

Three quarters of the video is simply a list of aircraft characteristics from Wikipedia. Nice.

Not enough of the PW615F engines to support the fleet, take a closer look at the runaway programs for the engines and the failure to be able to accomplish hot section while on the wing had a lot to do with the 510 going away.

Incredibly fast? Mmo is 0.63. For a 50-year-old Citation I it's 0.705

Yeah. Isn't that the Cessna Slowtation?

@jhjet510 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the low Vne (250 kias) and Vmo (0.63M) was a huge mistake. However, the Mustang cruises at about the same speed as a Citation I on a LOT less fuel...and it has modern systems. Yes, you can buy an old Citation I for a lot less but there's a reason for that.

Probably failed because it couldn’t do the distance.

M2 is greater & better replacement

@jhjet510 Жыл бұрын

Maybe but the M2 is just a rewarmed CJ1+ with older, more expensive to maintain systems. It's also considerably more expensive to purchase with only slightly better performance..

@@jhjet510 No, it has new wing & new avionics, What old systems are you talking about, just the fuselage structure ?
