The Hawker 4000 is developmental in many ways. It is made of all carbon fiber which makes it lighter and more spacious than many of its counterparts. Howerver, there were initial reports that the lightness made this aircraft more than a little hard to fly. However, upgraded avionics changed this and the advanced machinery make this aircraft a treat to fly.
Avionics: Honeywell EGPWS, AirCell ST-3100 SATCOM, Artex 406 MHz ELT w/nav interface, full EICAS, Smart PERFORMANCE database, dual Honeywell air data computers
