Description
The Citation XLS+ is the latest version of the Citation Excel which combines the cabin width and standup headroom comfort of the Citation X in a small/medium size package. The basis of the Excel is a shortened Citation X fuselage (the same fuselage cross section as was 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 PW-545A series turbofans. Other design features include trailing link main undercarriage units and a standard Honeywell Primus 1000 three 20 x 18cm (8 x 7in) screen EFIS avionics package. 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 PW-500 series engines. The Excel's PW-545As have a TBO of 5000 hours are fitted with Nordam thrust reversers as standard and the engines allow it to cruise at 432kt. The Citation XLS was the first "makeover" that the Excel received. Besides a glass cockpit based on the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS avionics suite, the XLS featured the upgraded PW545B engines with increased performance. Cessna upgraded the aircraft again to the Citation XLS+, or simply "Plus" configuration, with the inclusion of FADEC engine controls and improved PW545C engines. The Citation XLS+ is the first of the XL line to feature Collins Pro Line 21 Avionics and a 4 tube EFIS display as opposed to the 3 tube Honeywell displays in the XL and XLS
