The Cessna Citation Ascend is designed and will be manufactured
by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.

560XL series — the most successful family of business jets — and
set a new standard in terms of comfort and performance,” said
Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight
Operations. “For the first time in North America, customers can see
for themselves how the Ascend can transform their business or
travel experiences and give them versatility and flexibility to
accomplish any mission, now and in the future.”
Currently under development, the Citation Ascend is expected to
enter into service in 2025.
