Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) says it continues to see growth

Hawker says the flagship Hawker 4000 generated considerable
interest from prospective customers earlier this month while on
display at India Aviation 2010 in the southern India city of
Hyderabad.
"With the first Hawker 4000 in India and the recent India Aviation
show, we continue to gain momentum with the world's most advanced
business jet," said Justin Firestone, president, Asia-Pacific. "As
the market leader for business aircraft in India, we are focused on
the needs of the discerning customers in this region and are very
much committed to continuing to provide world-class service and
support."
The Hawker 4000 is certified for a take-off field length (ISA, SL,
MTOW) of 5,068 ft. The airplane will climb from sea level to 37,000
feet in just over 14 minutes. Once at altitude, the Hawker
4000's maximum cruise speed is Mach .84. The Pratt &
Whitney Canada PW308A engines deliver 6,900 pounds of thrust each
flat rated at ISA +22° Celsius and, combined with the Hawker
4000's advanced wing design, provide impressive high altitude/hot
temperature and short field performance.
The Hawker 4000's cockpit features a Honeywell Epic avionics suite
with five high-resolution 20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 in.) LCD displays. It
has enhanced situational awareness and flight management systems,
backed by real-time system monitoring and status. Dual Inertial
Reference System, dual air-cycle machines and auto-throttle are
standard. Avionics and utility systems are fully integrated, and
advanced composite material construction provides for lower part
count, enhanced reliability and lower life-cycle costs.
