JP or Avgas?
The Cessna Citation 550 series uses Jet A or Jet A-1 fuel, which are kerosene-based jet fuels.
It does not use Avgas (aviation gasoline). Avgas is specifically designed for piston-engine aircraft, while the Citation 550 is powered by turbine engines (Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines).
Here's a breakdown of fuel-related information for these aircraft:
Fuel Capacity:
Citation II: The Citation II has a usable fuel capacity of 862 US gallons (3,260 liters) or approximately 5,000 lbs.
Citation S/II: The Citation S/II has a slightly larger usable fuel capacity compared to the Citation II.
Citation Bravo: The Citation Bravo has a usable fuel capacity of around 720 US gallons (approximately 4,860 pounds).
Fuel Burn:
Citation II: Fuel burn for the Citation II is approximately 180 gallons per hour (GPH).
Citation S/II: The re-engined S/II with FJ44s is more fuel-efficient, burning around 775 lbs (352 kg) of fuel per hour at 390 knots (720 km/h).
Citation Bravo: The Citation Bravo burns around 148 GPH.
Range:
Citation II: The Citation II has a range of approximately 1,930 nautical miles (NM) with full fuel.
Citation S/II: The Citation S/II has a range of 1,775 NM.
Citation Bravo: The Citation Bravo has a range of around 1,740 NM.
Factors Affecting Fuel Consumption and Range:
Altitude and Speed: Higher altitudes and speeds generally result in better fuel efficiency.
Temperature: Higher temperatures can negatively impact engine performance and increase fuel burn.
Payload: Carrying a heavier payload reduces the range.
Wind Conditions: Headwinds decrease range, while tailwinds increase it.
Engine Type: Upgraded engines, like those on the Bravo and re-engined S/II, offer improved fuel efficiency compared to the standard JT15D-4 engines.
Note: Fuel consumption and range figures are estimates and can vary based on the aforementioned factors.
Cessna 550 fuel
The Cessna Citation 550 series, encompassing the Citation II, S/II, and Bravo models, offers varying fuel capacities and consumption rates depending on the specific variant and operating conditions.
