FAQ
How many passengers does the Nextant 400XT seat?
Standard layouts seat 7 or 8, usually as a four-seat club arrangement plus a three-seat divan, and the cabin is certified for up to 9. It is 4.72 metres long and 1.45 metres high. Baggage space of 1.3 cubic metres takes around 4 suitcases and 3 carry-on bags, enough for a business trip or a weekend away.
Does the 400XT cruise faster than the Hawker 400XP it is built from?
No. The 400XT is quoted at 447 knots (828 km/h) and the 400XP at about 450 knots, so the two are effectively level, and headwinds and payload affect both on the day. The new engines and reworked systems pay off elsewhere: the 400XT climbs faster, at 4,300 feet per minute, and burns less fuel.
How far can the 400XT fly?
With IFR reserves it covers 2,005 nautical miles (3,713 km), about 50 per cent more than the Hawker 400XP it is based on. For positioning flights without passengers, the ferry range is 2,160 nautical miles (4,000 km). Our advisors confirm each route with the operator, especially where a sector approaches the aircraft's limit.
What does remanufactured mean for the 400XT?
Nextant goes well beyond a refurbishment. It takes a Hawker 400XP airframe and rebuilds it with new Williams FJ44-3AP engines, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and a redesigned interior with HD entertainment and cabin management controls. The result offers new-aircraft performance and reliability at a lower cost, with more range, a better climb rate and lower operating costs than the original.
