Hawker 450XP

New life for the Beechjet

Local Hawker Beechcraft distributor, Hawker Pacific recently brought a Hawker 400XP to Australia for a demonstration tour and also used the opportunity to drum up future business for its dramatically enhanced Hawker 450XP which it launched at the National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) 2008 convention in Florida in October.

Based on the current 400XP ‘light jet’, and before that the Beechjet 400 and 400A and the original Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond 1/1A, the 450XP will be by far the biggest upgrade of the aircraft which will see improvements added to bring it into line with Hawker’s medium business jet lineup such as the 900XP.
