Overview

The Nextant 400XTi at a glance

The 400XTi is chosen for three missions. First, cost control, since Nextant publishes total variable cost of 1,487 USD per hour, well under any comparable twin jet with a 4.72 m cabin. Second, range recovery, with FJ44-3AP engines turning a 1,300 nm Beechjet into a 2,003 nm aircraft that reaches Ibiza or Athens from Frankfurt. Third, warranty on an old airframe, since the rebuild carries a two-year whole-aircraft warranty and 5,000 hour engine overhaul intervals. The limits are a 1.45 m cabin and a 1,165 m field requirement.

The 400XTi is a remanufacture rather than a new-build type. Nextant strips a Beechjet 400A to the primary structure and rebuilds it about 88 percent new over roughly 6,000 man-hours, then issues a two-year whole-aircraft warranty.

Aircraft Range Pax Top speed Cabin H × W Notes
Embraer Phenom 300 3,650 km 7 464 kt 1.5 × 1.55 m The most-delivered business jet in the world for a decade. Best cabin in class, single-pilot approved, superb short-runway performance.
Cessna Citation CJ3+ 3,778 km 6 416 kt 1.45 × 1.47 m The value pick. Very efficient, easy to charter cheaply, cabin is a touch narrower than the Phenom.
Learjet 75 Liberty 3,852 km 6 465 kt 1.5 × 1.56 m Fastest light jet in the sky, 51,000 ft ceiling, only flat-floor cabin in class. Bombardier ended production in 2022 so the fleet is used-only but young.
Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 4,010 km 10 451 kt 1.45 × 1.47 m The largest and fastest CJ. Single-pilot certified, transatlantic-capable with a Reykjavik stop, and a 2021 cabin refresh.
Embraer Phenom 100EV 2,182 km 6 406 kt 1.47 × 1.55 m The premium entry-level jet. Four-seat cabin, Garmin G3000, and a 15 percent lower hourly rate than the Citation M2.
HondaJet Elite II 2,865 km 6 422 kt 1.47 × 1.52 m Over-wing engine mounts, a signature quiet cabin, and the 2022 refresh with autothrottle. A category of one.

Questions

Nextant 400XTi FAQ

How many passengers can the Nextant 400XTi seat?
Seven in the usual charter layout, eight at maximum with the belted lavatory seat. The 4.72 m cabin is long for a light jet, so seven passengers travel more comfortably than in a Citation M2.
What is the Nextant 400XTi hourly charter rate?
European operators quote 2,300 to 3,000 EUR per hour ex-tax. North-American rates run 2,200 to 3,750 USD per hour, with brokers publishing about 3,750 USD as an average retail figure.
How much does a Nextant 400XTi cost?
The first aircraft sold for 4.2 million USD in 2011 and the 2023 list price was about 6.3 million USD. Pre-owned examples run 1.4 to 2.5 million USD, averaging near 2.14 million.
What does it cost to own and operate a Nextant 400XTi?
Nextant publishes total variable cost of 1,487 USD per flight hour, and AOPA figures put it near 1,623 USD. Fixed costs run about 180,000 to 260,000 USD per year. Fuel burn is 137 to 145 gallons per hour.
How many crew does the Nextant 400XTi need?
Two pilots. The underlying Beechjet 400A type certificate requires a two-pilot crew and the remanufacture does not change that. No cabin attendant is carried.
Where is the Nextant 400XTi built?
Nextant Aerospace remanufactures it at Richmond Heights, Ohio, near Cleveland. Each aircraft starts as a donor Beechcraft Hawker 400A and takes roughly 6,000 man-hours to rebuild about 88 percent new.
When did the Nextant 400XTi first fly?
The Nextant 400XT prototype flew in March 2010 and FAA certification was announced in October 2011. The upgraded 400XTi configuration was introduced in 2014.
Is the Nextant 400XTi still in production?
It was never a conventional production line. Nextant builds aircraft to order by remanufacturing donor Beechjet 400A airframes, and 50 had been completed by the end of 2014 against an order book above 100.
What engines does the Nextant 400XTi use?
Two Williams International FJ44-3AP turbofans producing 3,050 lbf each, with FADEC and a 5,000 hour time between overhaul. They replace the original Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D and are the main source of the range and fuel-burn gains.
How does the Nextant 400XTi compare to a Beechjet 400A?
They share the same primary structure. The 400XTi adds about 700 nm of range for 2,003 nm total, cuts fuel burn to roughly 141 gph, replaces the analogue panel with Pro Line 21 and comes with a two-year whole-aircraft warranty. A stock Beechjet 400A costs far less to buy and much more to run.
Can the Nextant 400XTi use short runways?
Yes. It needs 1,165 m at MTOW at sea level and 883 m to land, a clear improvement on the original Beechjet. Sardinia, Ibiza and most Greek island fields are within limits.
What is the baggage capacity?
1,314 litres or about 46.4 cubic feet, split into 20 cubic feet internal and 26.4 cubic feet external, with an 800 lb limit.
