Development
The aircraft was originally designed as the Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond, an all-new, all-jet development to complement and slot above the Mitsubishi MU-2 and provide Mitsubishi Heavy Industries with their top-of-the-line corporate aircraft model (hence the name "Diamond")[1]. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout Beechcraft bought the production rights and began manufacturing it as their own model, initially redesignated as the Beechjet 400. The Beechjet 400 was certified by the FAA in May 1985.
Raytheon/Beechcraft steadily developed their own improvements to the model, leading to the 400A in 1990. Improvements in the 400A include longer range, higher take-off weights and improved luxury appointments. An all-glass flight deck was also offered. Beechcraft also developed a version for the USAF known as the T-1A Jayhawk, used as a trainer for large aircraft crews (such as tankers and strategic transports). WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout A total of 180 T-1A trainers were delivered between 1992-1997. Another military variant is the JASDF T-400 trainer which shares the same Type Design[2] as the T-1A. The, or JASDF, is the Aviation branch of the Japan Self-Defense Forces responsible for the defense of Japanese Airspace and other aerospace WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.

In 1993 Raytheon purchased the Hawker business jet product line from British Aerospace. Year 1993 ( MCMXCIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar) British Aerospace (BAe was a UK aircraft and defence-systems manufacturer that is now part of BAE Systems. The Beechjet 400 was eventually renamed the Hawker 400 to map it into the Hawker product line. The latest model, the Hawker 400XP, incorporates further aerodynamic, mechanical and interior improvements gleaned from the Hawker 800XP. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.
