The Hawker 4000, first announced as the Hawker Horizon, is a twin-engine super-midsize business jet developed and produced by Hawker Beechcraft, the successor to Raytheon Aircraft Company. Raytheon announced the design in November 1996 as a jet larger than its Hawker 1000, and the first prototype made its maiden flight on August 11, 2001. The FAA granted type certification on November 21, 2006, and in May 2008 BJETS completed an order for ten aircraft after NetJets had signed for 50 in 2005, the largest single order in Raytheon Aircraft history. The fuselage is largely carbon composite, which the article says was a first in its class, while the wing is mainly metal; the cabin seats up to ten, and two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308A turbofan engines of up to 6,900 pounds of thrust each power it. By May 2013 Hawker Beechcraft was reportedly offering its jet division, including the Hawker 4000 programme, to potential buyers.
