Nextant Plans To Deliver 30-plus 400XTs by Year-end

Nextant Aerospace expects to deliver more than 30 remanufactured 400XTs by year-end, company CEO Ken Ricci said yesterday at EBACE. To date, the company has delivered 10 Nextant 400XTs, and it expects to financially break even on the program when it ships the 14th aircraft in about two months.

Seeking to differentiate the Nextant 400XT from the competing Hawker 400XPR, Ricci said his company “remanufactures” Hawker Beechcraft 400A/XPs, rather than simply re-engining them. “That’s truly the difference between us and what Hawker Beechcraft has contracted Sierra Industries to do to create the 400XPR,” he said.
