November 19, 201114 yr I've got a great idea for a PMDG business jet, if they ever chose to make one: The Hawker 4000, produced by Hawker-Beechcraft. It is a super-midsized jet, and has lots of cool things. First, its fuselage is comprised primarily of carbon fiber composites; it has full autothrottle FADEC controls, and each notch of flaps tell the plane to slow itself down to a set speed; it has a full EICAS system, and uses the Honeywell Primus Epic suite. I read about it just recently in Flying Magazine, and aside from Robert Goyer's terrible use of words to embellish for a sponsor, it looks liek a very cool business jet. Large windshield, holds eight people. I think ti would be great to have around the FSX hangar.Hawker Beechcraft Website: http://www.hawkerbee...om/hawker/4000/ Inactive
November 19, 201114 yr Thats a grate idea! I would love an Hawker 4000 made by PMDG it would be so fantastic. I wonder If the "secret project" is a biz jet? I certainly hope so:)))) Kind regardsR.G
November 20, 201114 yr Peter, Very nice aircraft. Thanks for sharing this. I got a great looking wallpaper for my desktop while I visited the Beechcraft site.Hmmm...I'm wondering the price point of the 4000? Over 30Mil I'm sure. Best, Jeff Moss

November 20, 201114 yr How funny I just did a report on that article for one of my aviation classes lol, great airplane. John Bauer
November 22, 201114 yr Certainly the "low-rider of all jets!" Maybe a G650 as well? XD Cameron Caldwell CPL (A) King Air 200 Pilot
November 22, 201114 yr I don't think there is any Hawker product for FS despite it being a popular aircraft. PMDG could Make the whole series like the 800XP 900Xp and 4000 hawker business Jets. or any other range like the Challenger 600 or G550 or Global Express for the FS community.
