Cessna Citation Hemisphere

The Cessna Citation Hemisphere is a 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km) range
Citation Hemisphere
business jet project by Cessna, expected to fly in 2019 and announced at the 2015
National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) conference with the widest cabin
in its class.[2] It will have a maximum speed of Mach 0.9.[3]

Although the Snecma Silvercrest was originally selected, the process was re-
opened to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW800.[4] The Silvercrest with over
12,000 lbf (53 kN) of thrust was confirmed for the 2016 NBAA Convention, along Role Corporate Jet

made it slow to respond to commands in high altitude tests. This made Dassault
cancels its silvercrest-powered Falcon 5X, but the Hemisphere business case
depends on it as it could lead to the best fuel efficiency in the segment. Textron is confident Safran can resolve the problems before the
2019 first flight.[6]
