Hawker 4000
The Hawker 4000, originally known as the Hawker Horizon, is a super-midsize
business jet developed by the Raytheon Aircraft Company.Originally announced in 1996 as the Hawker Horizon, the 4000 made its official debut in November 2005 when a development aircraft was displayed at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention.
The Hawker 4000 can be outfitted to seat eight people in a comfortable cabin configuration. This is partially due to the aircraft's carbon composite construction, which gives it more interior space than many jets in its class. Interior standing room is an average of six feet. This composite construction also makes the aircraft much lighter than a standard aluminum structure, allowing a maximum range of 3,445 nautical miles, and a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. In the cockpit, the Hawker features a fully glass cockpit, featuring the Honeywell Primus EPIC system, similar to that found on commercial jets such as the Bombardier CRJ. This system includes five 8x10-inch LCD displays, and a fly by wire control system.
