    The Hawker 400XP is one of the most popular light jets in the world. Compact, fast and versatile, it combines exceptional performance with comfort and economy, making it ideal for short and medium-haul executive flights.

    With two turbofan engines, low wings and a metallic fuselage, the 400XP carries up to eight passengers in a pressurized and surprisingly spacious cabin for its category. One of the biggest differences is its computer-optimized aerodynamic design, which minimizes drag and improves flight performance.

    One of the fastest light jets in its category

    The Hawker 400XP reaches speeds of over 800 km/h, with a maximum range of almost 4,000 kilometers. This means that it is capable of carrying out routes such as São Paulo–Recife or Miami–New York with ease, without stops.

    Officially launched in 2003, the model is an evolution of the Hawker 400 — originally developed in the 1970s. Over the decades, the aircraft won over air taxi operators and corporate users around the world. Today, its largest presence is in the United States, Mexico and Brazil.

    Adaptable cabin and tailored comfort

    Despite being compact, the interior of the Hawker 400XP surprises with its flexibility and comfort. The standard configuration accommodates seven passengers, with four seats in a club arrangement, two facing forward and two to the side. All seats rotate 180º, allowing occupants to interact with ease — ideal for in-flight meetings or closer conversations.

    If necessary, the cabin can be adjusted to carry up to nine passengers. Among the convenience highlights are:

    • Folding tables for easy use of laptops or light meals
    • Efficient and silent air conditioning system
    • Partial kitchen with coffee maker and microwave
    • Private bathroom with sink
    • Ample luggage space, with 1.59 m³ of capacity

    The internal volume of the cabin exceeds 8.5 m³, with a height of 1.45 m, comfortably accommodating even taller passengers.

    Advanced, safe and efficient

    In the cockpit, the aircraft features the renowned Rockwell Collins Pro Line avionics suite, with multifunctional displays and intuitive navigation systems, providing greater safety and ease for the pilot and co-pilot.

    Its Pratt & Whitney Canada engines deliver robust performance with low fuel consumption. The 400XP also stands out for its agility: it climbs to 37,000 feet in less than 20 minutes, which is rare among light jets.

    In terms of safety, the model follows the highest standards of business aviation, with systems such as:

    • TCAS II (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance)
    • EGPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System)
    • Integrated diagnostic system, which reduces maintenance costs and increases reliability
