The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang is a business jet with two cockpit seats, four cabin seats and a toilet, manufactured by Cessna. The airframe is constructed primarily of aluminium alloys, with a three spar wing group. One main door is located in the forward left section of the aircraft, with an additional emergency exit situated on the centre right section of the fuselage.

Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofan engines, mounted in pods on the aft fuselage, power the aircraft. The landing gear are fully retractable and are equipped with anti-skid protection.

The Cessna Citation Mustang first flew on 23 April 2005. Although the airplane received full type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration on September 8, 2006, customer deliveries are not expected before early 2007.
