I object to giving Fuji Heavy Industry the credit for the aero design of the wing. That was done by Dr. Pui Ho and myself, Beechcraft employees. Dr. Ho used CFD and my Lofting talent to shape 11 different airfoils from root to tip. We did it in such a way to “unload” the trailing edge so that slats and powered controls would not be needed. We then gave Fuji the 1g steady state loft of the wing as well as the relaxed jig loft to design the structure. The magic in the wing performance was ours, the Fuji’s.
He didn't really say they designed it, but at least Fuji did more than most suppliers simply building to print. They did the DTM and the FEM and bore significant risk in the project, McDonnell Douglas style. Anyway, this airplane is a gem and a great find and a superior value in the market for what it does and it is in my top 3 choices for a purchase later this year or early next.
@@gendaminoru3195 Thanks for the feed back. You are right, Fuji did put a lot of risk into the wing. I guess I am a little touchy - still - cause I didn’t like or think the idea of giving that work to Fuji was a good idea. Dr. Ho and I did put a lot of BS&T into that design and that is where the real magic of the aircrafts performance comes from. Structural design and build is really not new science but the tailored aerodynamics on that wing was new and innovative.
The market is right around $3.5 million. I imagine a sale could go through for a little less. I wish these were still in production. At one time I really wanted to fly this thing. The plane was way ahead of it's time. Except for the significant use of composites, technology has somewhat surpassed the Horizon.
Thank you so much for watching. Please leave any question below.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful aircraft.

Awesome Dad!! You are the expert!!
This is one of my dream airplanes to fly, hoping some day I can get that type rating 🤞
Very informative and professional.
A private jet was,is and will be my dream and I hope that I get one before I die.
Thanks for Explaining the Description of Hawker 4000. Regards Lazarus Morris, Proprietor Falcon International Aviation Services and Training New Delhi
Looks a beautiful aircraft, I hope you will have many orders!
I pray 🙏 one day I hit the Powerball so I can afford to fly 💸 on one of these beautiful jets!!
Thank You.
Looking so nice.
Beautiful presentation...well done!
How does the hawker 4000 compare to the other large mids from embraer, gulfstreem and dassault in terms of fuel consumption?
We love you young man. 🙂👍🏽
My favorite plane I wanna own one someday
that is a very embraer-ish cockpit, any fleet comonality?
how much does it cost nowdays after covid19?
The Hawker 4000 was so good that the makers, Beechcraft Hawker went bust.
How much? I'll take two ✌️.
How much ??

@@aafjeyakubu5124 thanks for the information , beautiful airplane !!
@@aafjeyakubu5124 yeah hawker has some of the best jets, a shame they went out of business
he said it burns less gas .......go back to the office your no good at this son
