Hawker Beechcraft Hawker 400XT
The Hawker 400XT is a modernised version of the Mitsubishi MU-300 and Beechjet 400A light-jet line. It combines a swept wing, T-tail, and twin rear-mounted engines with a cabin sized for typical short business missions. The 400 family became popular as a fast owner-flown or charter jet, while military versions served as trainers. The 400XT name represents the final Hawker Beechcraft refinement of a design that began in Japan decades earlier.
