The Hawker 4000 is Beechcraft's super-midsize aircraft produced between 2008 and 2013, identified by ICAO code HA4T. Equipped with 2 engines, it flies up to 3,280 nm, maintains a 470 kt cruise, reaches a 45,000 ft ceiling and has a maximum takeoff weight of 16,511 kg, with a cabin of 8 typical seats and up to 10 in the maximum arrangement. The reference value of a new unit was US$21,000,000. Here you will find the spec sheet, the estimated operating cost per hour and the fleet registered in Brazil.
How much runway the Hawker 4000 needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
Dispatches under charter rules at 144 of 465 Brazilian public runways when dry, and at 82 when wet.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.

Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.
Typical factory configuration (curated data). The drawing below is schematic and at approximate scale; the actual layout varies by interior and year.
The program began in 1996-1997 as the Raytheon Hawker Horizon, a project for a completely new super-midsize with a composite fuselage. The ambition was "clean-sheet", not derived from the Hawker 800/850XP, to compete directly with the Challenger 300 and Citation X.
The first flight took place on August 11, 2001. FAA certification, originally planned for 2001, only came in November 2006, five years late. First deliveries only occurred in 2008, seven years after the first flight.
Launched as the Hawker Horizon in 1996 and renamed Hawker 4000 in 2003, it pioneered a mostly carbon fiber fuselage construction in the super-midsize category. The same technology Raytheon used on the Beechcraft Premier I (light), but at a much larger scale. Promise of weight reduction and zero fatigue; manufacturing challenges delayed certification from 2001 to 2008.
It left the factory with Primus Epic in 2008, the same avionics family as the Falcon 2000EX EASy and Embraer Legacy. SVS, FANS-1/A and ADS-B Out via retrofit. A generational leap vs. the Hawker 800XP (Honeywell SPZ-8000), but upgrade support is limited by the small fleet.
In 2009, Hawker Beechcraft announced a recall of the engine pylons after inspections identified structural defects in delivered aircraft. The cost of the recall and the resulting bad reputation hit a program already selling below expectations squarely.
In May 2012, Hawker Beechcraft entered Chapter 11. The Hawker 4000 program never recovered; Beechcraft Corporation (reborn in 2013) discontinued the type. Textron acquired what was left in 2014, keeping only residual aftermarket support.
Production officially ended in 2013 with only 73 units delivered, one of the worst commercial results for a clean-sheet super-midsize in business aviation history.
Despite the Hawker heritage, the 4000 is a 100% new platform, with a cabin 1.83 m high (vs. 1.75 m for the 800XP) and 1.98 m wide (vs. 1.82 m). True end-to-end stand-up, double-club with an aft galley. For Hawker operators who wanted a cabin upgrade without changing manufacturers, it was the only option.
The Hawker 4000's carbon/Kevlar composite fuselage delivered a cabin 1.95m wide, wider than the Challenger 300 (1.85m) and Citation Sovereign (1.68m). A pressurization of 9.7 psi keeps cabin altitude low at FL450. When it works, it is one of the most comfortable super-midsize jets.
The Hawker 4000 cruises comfortably at Mach 0.84 (482 kt), one of the highest speeds in the super-midsize segment before the Challenger 350. On 4-5 hour missions, it gains 20-30 minutes vs. the Sovereign and Praetor 500.
After only 73 units delivered, Hawker Beechcraft entered Chapter 11 (bankruptcy protection) in 2012 and discontinued the Hawker 4000 in 2013 as part of the restructuring. Textron acquired the assets in 2014 and created the Beechcraft + Hawker brands but chose NOT to resume production of the 4000. The fleet became orphaned with minimal manufacturer support.
Composite fuselage repairs require specialized autoclave facilities, limiting approved MROs to a few units in the US and Europe. Structural inspection costs run 30-40% above conventional aluminum structures. Combined with the small fleet (73 units), OEM parts are expensive and slow to arrive, and operators report high ground time.
With only 73 aircraft in the world, the Hawker 4000 has an installed base an order of magnitude smaller than the Challenger 300 (650+) or Citation Sovereign (443). This means costlier parts, specialized MRO and highly unfavorable residual value.
Pilots with a Hawker 4000 type rating are rare, a type rating distinct from the Hawker 800/850/900 (BE-400 does not cover it). Recruiting and the cost of a qualified captain are real challenges for Brazilian operators.
Used Hawker 4000s in 2024 are quoted at USD 1.8M-4.5M, a fraction of the original MSRP of USD 22M (in 2008). A theoretical bargain vs. the Challenger 300 (USD 8.5M+) or Citation X (USD 4.5M+), but with heavy trade-offs: low resale liquidity, difficult MRO, limited Textron support. The market sees it as a high operational risk aircraft.
The Hawker 4000 was the first super-midsize with a carbon fiber fuselage and aluminum wings. Despite its technical performance, manufacturing cost and composite quality problems were factors in its commercial failure.
In Brazil, the few Hawker 4000 units are operated by corporate holdings that accepted the support risk in exchange for the discounted pre-owned price. Most are in SP/RJ. Heavy maintenance requires shipping to the US; there is no specialized Hawker 4000 MRO in Brazil.

The Hawker 4000 is out of production, so there is no factory price. On the used market the median is around US$ 3.8M, varying with year and flight hours; see real listings on this model's Market tab. Reference value as of 06/2026.
The maximum range is 3280 nm (3,280 NM · 6,075 km).
Cruise speed is 470 kt, equivalent to 870 km/h, or Mach 0.84.
The Hawker 4000 seats up to 10 passengers, crew not included.
There are 11 active units in the RAB-ANAC (data as of 11/11/2026): operational, mark reservation or suspended, excluding cancelled registrations.
10 distinct operators operate 10 units of the Hawker 4000 in the RAB-ANAC: 1 in air taxi (RBAC 135) and 9 in private operation (RBAC 91), concentrated in SP, ES and MT (data as of 11/11/2026). Not included in that count: 1 unit with no operating class in the RAB. Name, fleet and state of each operator are on this model's Analytics tab and in the operators directory.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 7,366 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 4,820 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 509,125 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
