Hawker 400XP Overview
The Hawker 400XP is a light jet manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft (Textron Aviation), produced from 2003-2010.

The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 104 active Hawker 400XP registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5, each producing 2,965 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 450 knots (Mach 0.78), with a long-range cruise of 418 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 45,000 feet puts the Hawker 400XP well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 3,953 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 1,500 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Hawker 400XP handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $2,000-$2,800 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Hawker 400XP cabin measures 15.5 ft long, 4.9 ft wide, and 4.8 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 8 passengers, with 54 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
