The Hawker 900XP, featuring the TFE731-50R engine, has been granted type certification during August.

Long range cruise improves to almost 2,800 nm with six passengers, fuel burn is reduced by up to five per cent and engine maintenance costs on MSP enrolled engines by ten per cent. As a result, cost per nautical mile drops by six per cent, Hawker Beechcraft reports.

The 900XP has the same cabin size as the Hawker 800 series, and a 2007 typically-equipped price of $14.3 million. Deliveries will begin in September and foreign certifications are already being pursued.
