Hawker 4000
The Hawker 4000 was originally known as the Hawker Horizon. It is a `super mid-size’ business jet. Design work on what was initially called the Horizon was already underway when Beech and Raytheon Corporate Jets merged in early 1995 to form Raytheon Aircraft. The new design, originally labeled PD376, was one of three projects the new Raytheon Aircraft was working on, along with what became the Premier I. Raytheon worked with potential customers during the design definition stage, and their input directly influenced the direction of the new aircraft.
One of the design philosophies in developing the Hawker 4000 is to combine the earlier Hawkers’ popular characteristics with the latest technologies. Experienced Hawker designers formed the core of Horizon’s design team, and the aircraft has been designed to look and feel like a Hawker.

Falcon 7X
From its inception, the Falcon 7X was destined to be a revolutionary aircraft, introducing business aviation to the industry’s first Digital Flight Control System. Like so many other aspects of the aircraft, its DFCS drew on Dassault’s 30 years of military experience, especially its Rafale and Mirage 2000 programs. The 7X would become the first business jet to use fighter jet technology with an elegant, whisper-quiet executive cabin.
Today, over 270 Falcon 7X aircraft are in service in 41 countries. The fleet has performed some 550,000 flight hours and presents excellent dispatch reliability. And a growing number of operators worldwide are discovering they need not compromise small-jet agility and efficiency for long-range comfort and capability. Now a mature and proven aircraft platform, the Falcon 7X1 is still the most advanced — still the business jet benchmark for the 21st century
When it comes to landing, slower is safer. A usual landing weight, the approach speed of the 7X is only 104 knots (193 km/h). It can land and stop in just 2,070 feet (630 m). As a result, it can access hundreds of airports other jets cannot, including those with hot and high conditions, steep approaches, and stringent noise restrictions. The 7X is the only aircraft in its class able to reach New York from London City Airport.
