Pratt & Whitney Canada joined Textron Aviation to celebrate the world debut of the Cessna Citation Ascend. The new business jet is powered by twin PW545D engines. Pratt & Whitney is an RTX business.
"The Citation Ascend is the latest product of Pratt & Whitney Canada's longstanding collaboration with Textron Aviation, a relationship that goes back more than 60 years and includes many iconic business jets and turboprops," said Scott McElvaine, vice president, Sales and Marketing, Pratt & Whitney Canada. "Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft have long been regarded as some of the most reliable and efficient Pratt & Whitney-powered platforms in the industry and we foresee a solid future for the Citation Ascend with Textron Aviation's global customer base."
The PW545D is equipped with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) technology which allows the aircraft to integrate new auto-throttle technology that simplifies engine operation, maximizes efficiency and reduces pilot workload. The PW545D also brings efficiency improvements in the compressor and turbine sections, thereby lowering fuel burn and reducing operating temperatures.
