A new name at Paris: Hawker Beechcraft Corp.
Hawker Beechcraft Corp.

Hawker Beechcraft Corp. is here for the first time in its new form, since Onex Partners and GS Capital Partners acquired the company from Raytheon. On the static display, it is exhibiting several business aircraft, including three jets–a Hawker 4000, a Hawker 850XP and a Beechcraft Premier IA–and a Beechcraft King Air 350ER turboprop.

The Hawker 4000 (née Horizon) is a super-midsize jet. It can carry six passengers at Mach 0.82 over 3,000 nautical miles. The twinjet received its Federal Aviation Administration type certification last year. Deliveries have not started yet, though. Like the superlight Premier IA, the Hawker 4000 features an all-composite fuselage.
