Range and Performance
The Hawker 400XP offers a maximum range of 2,884 km (1,557 nm) and a maximum cruise speed of 861 km/h (465 kt). Its certified ceiling is 13,716 m (45,000 ft), supporting efficient operations above much of the commercial traffic and weather. Take-off distance is commonly listed at around 1,191 m (3,906 ft), making it suitable for many regional airports, subject to load, routing and conditions.
Cabin Comfort and Configuration
The Hawker 400XP is commonly arranged with nine seats, with an optional eight-seat layout that includes a refreshment galley. The cabin measures approximately 4.72 m (15 ft 6 in) in length, 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) in width and 1.45 m (4 ft 9 in) in height. Internal baggage capacity is listed at 0.57 m³ (20 ft³), although luggage acceptance can vary by configuration and passenger load.
Onboard Amenities
Depending on the aircraft configuration, the Hawker 400XP may include club seating, executive tables, a refreshment galley, internal baggage access and dual-zone temperature controls. The cabin’s square-oval design provides a relatively spacious feel for the light jet category, while the large windows and practical seating arrangement support productive short-sector travel. Amenities vary between individual aircraft, especially where interiors have been refurbished or upgraded.
Technology and Flight Deck
The Hawker 400XP is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R turbofan engines, each rated at approximately 2,965 lb of thrust. The aircraft is typically equipped with Collins Pro Line 4 avionics and standard dual flight management systems, supporting efficient flight planning and cockpit workload management. Its proven flight deck design, reliable engines and strong operator familiarity make it a dependable choice for regional charter operations.
Hawker 400XP Certification
The Hawker 400XP is part of the Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400 family, a transport-category light jet series with roots in the Mitsubishi MU-300 design and later Beechcraft/Raytheon development. The 400XP version was introduced in the early 2000s with improvements including higher capability, nine-passenger seating and updated equipment compared with earlier 400A aircraft. Its long service history, broad training support and established maintenance network make it a practical aircraft for private charter fleets.
