The Model 510 Mustang first flew on 18 April 2005. The airplane received full type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration on September 8, 2006. Cessna received FAA certification to fly into "known icing conditions" on November 9, 2006.[3] Cessna delivered the first production VLJ on November 23, 2006, the same day the FAA awarded Cessna with the necessary certification.[4] Dave and Dawn Goode of GOODE Ski Technologies received the first retail delivered Cessna Mustang on April 23, 2007.[5]

The Mustang is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a tricycle retractable landing gear and two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofan engines, mounted in pods on the aft fuselage. The airframe is constructed primarily of aluminum 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 on the center right section of the fuselage.

The flight deck consists of two Garmin G1000 PFD's and one large center MFD, for moving map, weather, traffic and other functions.
