Cessna 500 Citation 500

The Cessna 500 Citation I is a small twin-engine corporate business jet, becoming the first aircraft in the Citation family. In the late 1960s Cessna announced the development of an eight-seat jet, creating the Fanjet 500 prototype, which was then further improved and re-designated the Citation. The aircraft utilised twin Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1 turboprop powerplants and had straight wings, resulting in a much slower cruise speed than its competitiors at the time. Eventhough the Citation I did not become as successful as anticipated, it served as an excellent basis for further variants, such as the Citation II.

Red Box is pleased to offer a great range of ground power equipment for this aircraft, including tugs, ground power units, start power units, aviation tools, and more, which are perfectly suited to the requirements of the Cessna Citation I Model 500 aircraft.

This includes the popular RBI9400T mechanic hand trolley case complete with 161 BAHCO tools, the 717 tug, and the RBSC100 continuous power unit, which is ideal for diagnostic work, pre flight checks or for continuous powering of equipment during operations, without draining the onboard aircraft batteries, and the RB50A for starting the aircraft, helping to avoid hot starts. We also offer a combination of start and continuous power in one unit for the Cessna Citation I Model 500 aircraft in our TC3000 range.
