HBC has over 100 authorized service centers - More - HBC NBAA 2007 – Page 2 worldwide and over 3,000 people devoted to Hawker and Beechcraft service; a dedicated AOG and flight critical team with 24/7 availability; and the only major aircraft OEM to offer lifetime support for all of its legacy aircraft.

Hawker The Hawker 4000 is the flag ship of the Hawker line, taking the heritage to a whole new level. Built in the Hawker tradition with a reputation for large cabin reliability, durability and proven performance, the response from customers has been overwhelming. The Hawker 4000 exhibits stunning airfield performance capabilities and is the only super-midsize that can carry six passengers non-stop from Hilton Head (19 foot field elevation, 4,300 foot runway length) to Los Angeles at cruise speeds up to Mach .84. Climb rate is exhilarating, going from sea level to 37,000 feet in just over 14 minutes. Once at altitude the Hawker 4000 accelerates very quickly to its maximum cruise speed of Mach .84.

The Hawker 4000 is also the only super-midsize business jet that features as standard an Inertial Reference System for navigation plus an auto-throttle for total automation from take-off to touchdown.

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308A engines deliver 6,900 lb of thrust each and combined with the Hawker 4000’s advanced wing design provide stunning high/hot and short field performance. With true coast-to-coast U.S. non-stop range, six passengers can be carried over 3,000 nautical miles at a Mach 0.82 cruise speed and four passengers can be carried over 3,300 nautical miles at cruise speed of Mach 0.75.

Constructed of advanced composite material, the Hawker 4000 fuselage is built in three sections, and features a 72-inch stand-up cabin with a 77.5-inch width. A flat floor runs the entire length of the aircraft, leading to a large, pressurized baggage area. The baggage compartment is accessible on the ground through an exterior door or during flight through the cabin.

The recently certified Hawker 900XP is the latest evolution of the world’s best-selling, mid-size Hawker 800-series. It includes winglets developed by HBC and the new Honeywell TFE731-50R engine exhibiting improved hot and high altitude performance. At 5,000 feet airport elevation with ISA+20 Celsius, the engine produces 3,970 pounds of thrust, a 4.5 percent improvement over the 850XP’s 3,800 pounds of thrust. Major Periodic Inspections (MPI) and Compressor Zone Inspections (CZI) will increase from 2,100/4,200 hours to 3,000/6,000 having a positive impact on engine cost of operations. Long range cruise improves to almost 2,800 nautical miles NBAA IFR HBC NBAA 2007 – Page 3 range with six passengers allowing it to make a non-stop flight from New York to anywhere on the West Coast 99.9 percent of the time. Operators will also see lower cost of operations as a result of the efficiencies of the new Honeywell TFE731-50R engines resulting in five percent lower fuel burn and 10 percent lower engine maintenance costs on MSP enrolled engines. Thus, total direct operating costs will be reduced five percent and cost per nautical mile drops six percent.

The Hawker 750 introduces a new segment for the Hawker fleet by taking the classic Hawker 800- series airframe and replaces the aft-ventral fuel tank with a heated baggage compartment. With a 2,100 nautical mile range, the Hawker 750 will have the largest cabin in the light-midsize segment. The aircraft comes standard with a class-leading 5-year warranty on the airframe, engines, and . Certification of the Hawker 750 will occur in early 2008 with deliveries beginning shortly thereafter.

In the light business jet class, the Hawker 400XP is the best-selling light jet, recognized for its speed, cabin size and comfort, and overall value. It is a favorite for single-aircraft flight departments as well as the fractional aircraft fleet.

Beechcraft The Beechcraft Premier IA is the largest and fastest single-pilot business jet in the world. It features a high-strength composite carbon fiber/epoxy/honeycomb fuselage, produced by computer-controlled, automated machines, giving the aircraft a medium-jet sized cabin at light jet acquisition and operating costs. The powerplants are Williams International FJ44-2A engines that are built on themes of simplicity, low fuel consumption, and high-altitude thrust performance. Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics includes IFIS with total system integration and instrument placement designed to make single-pilot operation easy, simple and safe. With a 450 knot cruise speed, customers around the world purchase the airplane for its speed and large cabin.

Joining the Premier will be the 350, the flagship of the King Air line. The King Air is the most successful series of twin turbine-powered business aircraft ever built and has been in continuous production since 1964. More than 6,200 King Airs have been sold for corporate, commercial and special mission operations in more than 94 countries throughout the world amassing over 40 million flight hours. There are currently four variants of the King Air – the Beechcraft King Air 350, the new Beechcraft King Air 350ER, the new Beechcraft King Air B200GT and the new Beechcraft King Air C90GTi.

The upgraded Beechcraft King Air B200GT features a 305-knot max cruise speed, a nearly 20-knot increase and climbs faster to its intended cruising altitudes than the King Air B200 it replaces. Powering the improvement is the installation of two new, recently certified Pratt and Whitney PT6A- 52 engines designed specifically for the King Air B200GT. The PT6A-52 engine was derived by mating the turbine section of the 1,050-shp capable PT6A-60A found on the King Air 350 with the existing King Air B200 PT6A-42 gearbox. The result is an engine that holds its 850-shp flat rating to a much higher altitude, improving climb and cruise performance under almost all flight scenarios.

The new Beechcraft King Air C90GTi is an evolution of the popular Beechcraft King Air C90GT. It delivers a 25-knot increase in max cruise speed (now 270+ knots) and up to a 50-percent reduction in the time needed to reach its certified ceiling of 30,000 feet. The King Air C90GTi features a fully-integrated, Pro Line 21 avionics system, the same system at the heart of Hawker and Beechcraft airplanes from the King Air B200 to the Hawker 900XP. It will replace the current King Air C90GT.

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation’s piston-powered aircraft, the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and G58, feature Garmin G1000 avionics suites including the new Garmin GFC 700TM autopilot. The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Baron G58 aircraft were the first applications of the fully-integrated avionics system in piston engine aircraft. The combined package provides improved situational awareness, increased functionality, and reduced pilot workload. 2007 is the 60th anniversary of the Bonanza and more than 18,000 have been built and delivered.
