BRIEF HISTORY – NEXTANT 400XTi

NEXTANT 400XTI (2014-PRESENT)
Nextant Aerospace was founded by Kenneth Ricci in 2007 and is headquartered in Cleveland. They are regarded as the first American company to dedicate all their focus and talent on bringing reimagined business aircraft to market. They thought the Beechjet / Hawker 400A/XP was the perfect aircraft, ripe for remanufacturing. Originally designed and built by Mitsubishi, this aircraft would change hands a few times. Next it would be updated and developed further by Beech Aircraft Company and is now a subsidiary of Textron. The Beechjet / Hawker 400A/XP aircraft’s original airframe has been re-engineered into the Nextant 400XT aircraft. The Nextant 400XT model took its first flight in March 2010 and received its certificate from the FAA at NBAA in October of 2011.And in 2014, Nextant Aerospace introduced the 400XTi which boasted new engines, increased aerodynamics, brand new avionics suite, and an entirely redesigned cabin. This put Nextant Aerospace in direct competition with Textron Aviation (the original manufacturer) and Sierra Industries, who recently began collaborating to bring to market a manufacturer supported and factory-engineered upgrade to the Hawker 400XP, named the 400XPR. The Hawker 400XPR was released in 2017 and offers numerous upgrades that can be completed in about 12 weeks or one can do it in phases.

CABIN COMFORTS – NEXTANT 400XTi
The Nextant is renowned for its cabin’s sophisticated ergonomic design that maximizes comfort and efficiency, boasting a flat floor design, the only of its kind in its class. The cabin boasts dimensions of 15 feet 6 inches (4.75 m) long, 4 feet 9 inches (1.46 m) tall, 4 feet 11 inches (1.52 m) wide, with a total cabin volume of 305 cubic feet (8.64 cu m). It also has a total baggage capacity of 46.4 cubic feet (1.31 cu m), with an external compartment of 26.4 cubic feet (0.75 cu m) and an internal compartment of 20 cubic feet (0.57 cu m).With the addition of innovative acoustic insulation, Nextant has increased privacy and comfort while reducing cabin noise levels at cruising altitude /speed by almost 10dB. Meaning one of the quietest cabins in its class now averages an even quieter cabin, around 65 dB to 66dB. The aircraft cruises at 45,000 feet (13,716 m) while keeping the cabin altitude at a low 8,000 feet (2,438 m). Lowered cabin pressure, lowered cabin noise levels, and new ergonomic seats work in unison to stave off jet lag, guaranteeing you’ll be refreshed and focused once you land. Nextant’s 400XTi is fully equipped with the latest cabin technology and productivity tools, which are fully prepared to provide optimal productivity at all times. Throughout the cabin you notice distinctive LED illumination creating the most comfortable atmosphere for every passenger. Typically, its configuration will comfortably seat 7 passengers with 4 captains chairs and a 3 person divan. Integrated with the elegant design is convenient passenger controls at each seat to adjust cabin lighting and temperature. Thankfully there is still enough space for the most important aspect, the full-service galley. Positioned near the flight deck it’s equipped with dual hot cup containers, dual ice containers, a trash container, and plenty storage for wine, sodas, and snacks. It is also equipped with an aft lavatory, fully enclosed, featuring a solid door for increased privacy.

POWER AND PERFORMANCE – NEXTANT 400XTi
The groundbreaking FJ44-3AP engine is substantially lighter, quieter, and more fuel efficient than its predecessors, which is partly responsible for the 400XTi’s outstanding range (increased by up to 32 percent). The FJ44-3AP outperforms the engines it replaced not only in regards to range and fuel consumption, but also in the shop, with annual maintenance costs being reduced by 27%! The interval between overhauls has been increased to 5,000 hours. The engine is also noticeably quieter, allowing the 400XTi to comply with Category IV noise restrictions. Another big contributor to lowering overall cost and weight is the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) which eliminates the requirement for a thrust reverser, therefore lowering its overall weight and operating expenses, while increasing operational reliability. The classic Win, Win, Win scenario. The adoption of Auto-throttle saves unnecessary fuel consumption and increases overall safety by decreasing pilot workload, most importantly during critical flying stages such as take-off and landing.
