Upgraded Hawker jet travels faster on less fuel
Deepa | Oct 6 2008

Business jets, or bizjets, have been making the busy lives of globetrotters really easy. To make their lives easier, trendier and more comfortable, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation has upped their ante by unveiling the new Hawker 450XP. Working on the suggestions of their patrons, the company has fine-tuned a few features of the predecessor, the Hawker 400XP. Hawker engineers have not only tweaked the engines to perform better using lesser fuel, but also focused on pulling off a longer range and faster climbs with ease.

Powered by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535D turbofan engines, the Hawker 450XP supports high-tech safety features. The latest from the Hawker fold also boasts of all the techie specs that are essential for conducting business activities in the air. Thus, they boast of a 10-inch high-definition monitor, home theater system and USB connectors among a whole host of high-tech features.

The interiors of the flights are plush and comfortable. Based on the interior of the 900XP, the company touts it as “the best equipped cabin ever offered in a light jet.”

Sounds good, right? If you can’t wait to get your hands on this beauty - you will have to be hold it a while, as the first flight of this aircraft is scheduled to hit the market only in the second quarter of 2009.

Upgrading the Hawker 400XP will surely raise the bar in its business jet segment. And along with all the improvements, the lowering of operating cost with more efficient engine is great news w.r.t. rising fuel costs.
