Citation Bravo 550 B

2008-09-09T01:23:00.000-07:00

The Bravo is the successor to the extremely popular and reliable Cessna Citation II, comfortably seating 7/8 passengers. This rare combination of excellent short field performance and range of over 2000 miles, places even more destinations conveniently within reach.

By 1994, the Citation II and S/II had been in production for 10 years, and it was time to integrate new technology. Cessna thus announced the development of the Citation Bravo. While it was built on the basic S/II airframe, the new aircraft was powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A engines. The main landing gear was replaced by the smoother-riding trailing link configuration adopted by other members of the Citation line, and the standard avionics suite was updated to the Honeywell Primus 1000 glass cockpit. The new aircraft first flew on April 25, 1995, but certification did not come for over a year, finally being granted in August, 1996. Production of the Bravo ceased in late 2006 after 337 had been produced.

Part of the Cessna range of jets. Whilst baggage space is limited its speed still makes it one of the most cost effective for short journeys / day trips. Cruising up to 41,000 ft with speeds up to 440mph.

The Citation II, Model 550, was a direct development from the Citation I. The earlier aircraft's success in the market led Cessna to believe there was demand for a larger aircraft that utilized the same design philosophy.

The result was the Citation II, which had a maximum seating capacity of 10. In addition to more seats, the plane had more powerful JT15D4 engines, faster speeds and longer range. First flight was on January 31, 1977, and the aircraft was certified for two-pilot operation in March, 1978.

A total of 603 aircraft were built before the Citation II was replaced by the Bravo in the production line. (source)
