Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) today announced that its industry-leading midsize business jet, the Hawker 900XP, has been selected by the Robb Report China as a "Best of the Best" recipient in the Best Material of Y2010 classification. The Hawker 900XP also received similar recognition from the Robb Report in the United States last year as a "Best of the Best"designee in the Best Business Jet category.

"We are honored that, yet again, the Hawker 900XP has been recognized by such a well-respected publication as Robb Report," said Shawn Vick, HBC executive vice president. "The 'Best of the Best' award in this category reaffirms the versatility and universal appeal of the 900XP, because it is pitted against a wide variety of products."

According to the Robb Report China, the Hawker 900XP beat all competitors in the final voting due to its excellent comprehensive performance. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge brands or products that have made great contributions.

This is the third year in a row that a Hawker Beechcraft product has received "Best of the Best" honors. Most recently, HBC received three 2010 Best of the Best awards from the U.S. Robb Report, including the Hawker 750 in the Midsize Business Aircraft category, the Hawker 4000 in the Super Midsize Business Aircraft category and the Beechcraft King Air 350i in the Personal Aircraft category. In addition to the Hawker 900XP recognition in the Best Business Jet category in 2009, HBC also received the 2008 award in the Recently Delivered Aircraft category for its Hawker 4000.
