An entry-level light-size private jet, the Hawker 400XP strikes the balance between performance, comfort, and price. The reliable frame of the Hawker 400XP at its price range is therefore recommended for the value-oriented jet buyer. Plus, its interior features can rival that of more expensive jets.
The adequate power of the Hawker 400XP’s engine is also well matched by its interior luxury. With 305 cubic feet of cabin space, this jet can comfortably seat nine passengers. The configuration of the seats in a squared oval design means plenty of space to recline the leather seats for relaxing. The executive writing tables on board also makes this jet a good extension of earth-bound offices. The dual zone temperature controls also makes any flight aboard the Hawker 400XP a comfortable one.
The driving force behind this private jet takes the form of two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 turbofans each with an output rating of 2,900 pounds of force on takeoff. With the lightweight design of the 400XP, that power is enough to propel it to cruising speeds of 443 knots or 820 kilometers per hour. Its maximum speed is clocked at Mach 0.78.
The wraparound window on the cockpit provides the flight crew an outstanding view. It is complemented by traffic avoidance technology making the Hawker 400XP one of the safest in its class. A terrain avoidance system is also included as a standard feature. The Fail-Passive Automatic Flight Control System on the other hand makes sure that the pilot would have complete control of the aircraft when needed.
