"Nextant 400XTi, Private Jet Charter!"
nbaa, national business aviation association
There had to be a way of delivering the latest in business jet technology without doing a clean-sheet design.
Then came the Nextant 400XTi remanufacturing of the Beechjet 400/Hawker 400XP.
The hundreds of millions of dollars needed to develop a new jet is a huge barrier, yet a well designed and -built jet has a long service life.
It could be an ideal platform on which to add new avionics and engine technology as well as aerodynamic tweaking using modern tools such as computational fluid dynamics.
Cleveland-based Nextant was launched in 2007 and is owned by Directional Aviation Capital, which also owns fractional-share operations Flight Options.
Nextant selected the Beechjet, because it’s the most robust light jet.
They bring technology where it makes sense, delivering everything good about a new aircraft but at 50 cents on the dollar.
Nextant sister company Flight Options has many years experience operating the Beechjet/Hawker 400. So they know everything good and bad about it.
The 400XTi is essentially a Beechjet 400/Hawker 400A/XP with new Fadec-controlled 3,050-pound-thrust Williams International FJ44-3AP engines replacing the original 2,965-pound Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5Rs.
Aerodynamic improvements to the nacelles and pylons, a new Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck, fresh interior and other enhancements.
During a 6,000-man-hour renewal/overhaul process. The resulting remanufactured 400XTi carries a two-year tip-to-tail warranty (three for the engines), which can be extended to five years as an option.
The first remanufactured version was the 400XT.
The last year Nextant introduced the 400XTi, with an improved and more spacious composite cabin shell that takes full advantage of unused space in the fuselage.
A new noise insulation package, Nextant-designed winglets, Luma Technologies LED warning panels and a Mid-Continent Instruments LCD standby attitude module.
It has True Blue Power MD835 lithium-ion backup battery units. The MD835s eliminate a 90-day inspection interval for the jet’s original lead-acid backup batteries.
The SiriusXM weather option can be displayed on either pilot’s MFD.
The base system includes one version of the Rockwell Collins IFIS electronic charts system, and a second IFIS is optional.
The Pro Line 21 synthetic vision system is expected to be certified this year, and Nextant is also planning to add a Safe Flight auto throttle system as an option.
Where the 400XTi mod truly shines, however, is the greatly improved performance of the new Williams engines.
The stock Hawker 400XP can fly 1,464 nm with two pilots and four passengers (NBAA IFR reserves, 100-nm alternate).
Under the same conditions, the 400XTi can fly more than 2,000 nm. Fuel capacity is 4,912 pounds.

The Nextant 400XTi represents a significant step toward near-production-line remanufacturing of airframes that have a lot of useful remaining life.
