The Hawker 400XP is a small, low-winged twin-turbofan aircraft of all metal construction, flown by a crew of two pilots and accommodating eight passengers in a pressurised cabin. Its wings use a computer-designed supercritical airfoil in order to minimise drag. Its two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D turbofans are mounted on the rear fuselage.

The 400 is ideal for use in quick flights within the region. Typical flying hours are 1.5 to 2.0 hours with 400 kn (740 km/h) block speeds.
