Hawker 900XP

Hawker 900XP Beechcraft

The nose wheel steering tiller is clearly visible on the left subpanel. The big T-bar handle left of the throttles controls the speed brakes and lift dump, and the lever to the right sets the parking brake. You can see the bright-red hp cocks that control fuel to the engines are located just aft of the throttles and are in the down, or off, position.

The Hawker 900XP is not distinguishable from the 850XP from the outside.

Hawker Beechcraft has raised the quality of the cabin materials and fit and finish at its Little Rock, Arkansas, completion center to equal that of any jet.

The Hawkers rolling down the assembly line at Hawker Beechcraft began life in England, where the basic airframe is still built in the original factory under contract to Hawker Beechcraft. The engines and all systems are installed in Wichita, Kansas, and the interior and paint are completed in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The winglets were added to the Hawker 850XP and are unchanged on the new 900XP version, with its more powerful and efficient engines.

The airplane flown for this report was typically equipped and very close to the standard empty weight. All data shown here come from the airplane manuals and reflect standard day conditions at sea level unless otherwise noted.
