More about the Hawker 400XP

The Hawker 400XPR is the product of a jet that has been upgraded and modernized time and time again. The aircraft is a picture-perfect example of the constant evolution of the industry. Originally a derivative of the Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond, which originally dates back to 1978, Hawker took over production in the mid 1980s. In 1990, it was officially re-released as the Beechjet 400A, which in turn was eventually upgraded to become the Hawker 400XP in 2003. Finally, in 2012, the aircraft was upgraded and modernized once again as the Hawker 400XPR. This most recent upgrade gives travelers who enjoyed the size and comfort of the 400XP additional performance capabilities including longer range, superior hot-and-high performance, and all-around better technology. It's hard to go wrong with Williams International FJ44-4A-32 engines, optional Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, and a plethora of other enhancements. Those who prefer to travel in light business jets will surely welcome the Hawker 400XPR as one of the major contenders in the category.

Key Features of the Hawker 400XP

One aspect that owners and passengers of the Hawker 400XP have enjoyed in the past is the squared oval cabin shape of its interior. While some may initially overlook the design choice on the exterior, many will attest to the fact that the aircraft provides incredibly generous head-and-shoulder room when compared to other jets in its category. The potential freedom of movement this offers in a dense seating configuration is invaluable. Even more space is afforded to its passengers in the form of baggage capacity. The 400XPR offers 73 cubic feet of internal and external baggage, which is above average for light business jets. The aircraft comes standard with a private lavatory, refreshment station, and is typically configured for eight passengers. Each side of the aircraft has five windows to let in as much natural lighting as possible. Although the Hawker 400XPR did not have a drastic internal redesign when compared to its predecessor, it still possesses the attributes that drew travelers to the XP in the first place: space, comfort, and luxury.

Capabilities of the Hawker 400XP

The Hawker 400XPR's powerful Williams International FJ44-4A-32 engines, which each provide 3,200 lbs of thrust, allow the aircraft to climb to 45,000 feet in just 19 minutes at maximum takeoff weight. These are a substantial upgrade over the older Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5 turbofans and are more powerful, more efficient and generate less noise. At Long Range Cruise (LRC) power settings, the Hawker 400XPR can deliver an average of 18-20% less fuel consumption, which lowers its operating costs significantly. Reduced operating costs benefit owners, operators, and charter clients alike as the Hawker 400XPR is indisputably a value aircraft. Its maximum range is 1,482 nautical miles making it able to fly across most countries with ease. Cabin dimensions of 15' 6" length, 4' 11" width, and 4' 9" height may not create the largest interior cabin space, but the 400XPR is considered to be one of the most spacious light jets for short to mid-range flights. No matter where you are headed, you will enjoy the speed, comfort, and efficiency of the Hawker 400XPR.
