Adds Rockwell Collins Venue Cabin Management System To 400NXT
Options List
Nextant Aerospace announced this week it plans to accelerate
deliveries of the Nextant 400NXT to the first quarter of 2010. In
addition, Nextant intends to add the Rockwell Collins Venue High
Definition Cabin Management System to the list of options available
as part of the 400NXT program.
"We are extremely pleased to announce the shortened delivery
time for both the serialized production and retrofit 400NXT
programs," said Kenn Ricci, CEO of Nextant Aerospace. "The interest
we have received in the program has been great and we are excited
to be able to deliver the product sooner than planned to our
customers."
The Nextant 400NXT is designed to increase the speed and
capabilities of Hawker Beechjet 400A/400XP aircraft. The upgrade
includes replacement of the original Pratt & Whitney JT15D
engines with the new, fuel efficient Williams International
FJ44-3AP computer controlled engines, and incorporating the new
Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite.
Nextant says the 400NXT performace upgrades will increase the
range of a standard Beechjet from 1180 nautical miles, to over 2000
nautical miles (four passenger, NBAA IFR range,) while cutting
operating costs by 27% in fuel savings alone.
The ability to shorten delivery times for 400NXT orders is due
in part to shorter lead times for key components as part of the
development of the 400NXT program, according to the company.
The 400NXT will be offered as a remanufactured serialized
production aircraft as well as a modification retrofit program. The
fully modified 400NXT will sell for under $5.0 million and will be
available with various cabin configurations and entertainment
options.
