The Cessna Citation Hemisphere is a 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km) range 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 the selection of Honeywell Primus Epic cockpit and Thales Group fly-by-wire flight control system.[5]
