On Friday, Cessna announced that it has raised the top speed for its Citation Ten to Mach 0.935, which would make it the fastest civil aircraft in service once certified. This eclipses the speed of its Citation X predecessor by Mach 0.015 and the currently stated top speed of the soon-to-be-certified Gulfstream G650 by Mach 0.010.

Cessna attributes the speed increase to the Ten’s 7,034-pound-thrust Rolls-RoyceAE3007C2 turbofans (more powerful than the X’s 6,442/6,764-pound C/C1s) and the addition of winglets, the latter allowing for an mtow increase to 36,600 pounds (500 pounds more than the X) and a 274-nm range extension to 3,170 nm.
