Operational Context

Hawker 400XP — light business jet

The 400XP entered service in 2003 with upgraded avionics and interior features. It retained the swept-wing configuration of earlier models. The aircraft was optimized for short- and medium-range business travel.

Two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D turbofan engines producing approximately 3,000 pounds of thrust (13 kN) each power the jet. Cruise speed approaches 450 knots (833 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 16,000 pounds (7,257 kg).

The 400XP served corporate and fractional ownership operators worldwide. Production ended in the 2010s. Many examples remain active in business aviation fleets.
