KSFQ (Suffolk Executive Airport) - 01 JUN 2014

 

Lexicon Management Group Inc 2008 Cessna 560XL Citation XLS+ N33LX parked on the ramp at Suffolk Executive Airport. The aircraft was here coincidentally during the 2014 Virginia Regional Festival of Flight.

 

To produce the Excel, Cessna took the X's wide, stand-up cabin fuselage, shortened it to about 21 feet (6.4 m) and mated it with an unswept wing utilizing a supercritical airfoil (based on the Citation V Ultra's wing) and the tail from the Citation V.

 

The Citation XLS+ features Collins Pro Line 21 Avionics and a four screen LCD EFIS display as opposed to the three tube (CRT) Honeywell display in the XL and the three screen LCD Primus 1000 in the XLS.

 

The aircraft is powered by two improved Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C turbofans capable of producing 4,119 lbs of thrust each with FADEC engine controls,and a completely revised nose design similar to that found on the Citation Sovereign and Citation X.
