At Cessna Aircraft, revenues decrease

Textron issued its second quarter report for 2010 yesterday and news from its aviation segments was mixed.

At Cessna Aircraft, revenues decreased $236 million in the second quarter, primarily reflecting lower new-aircraft deliveries, including 43 Citations, compared with 84 for the same period in 2009. Of the 43 deliveries, 20 were Citation Mustangs.
