N400BH

This entry describes airframe N400BH, a Raytheon-built business jet constructed in 2005 with manufacturer's serial number RK-407. The aircraft is listed on the US registry and is currently documented as owned by BBH PARTNERSHIP LLC, a corporate owner based in Topeka, KS, US. The airframe is a factory Raytheon Hawker 400XP with a noted conversion path to Nextant 400XT available in the marketplace. Valuation records for this specific airframe indicate a market value of $1,800,000 reflective of its age, configuration, and maintenance status as recorded in registry summaries.

The cabin of N400BH is fitted in a typical seven-place executive club layout with a flat-floor arrangement; the configuration may vary by operator. In operational use this airframe supports short- to medium-range corporate missions consistent with the 400XP family’s profile, enabling point-to-point travel within a roughly 1,500 nm radius at high cruise speeds near 450 kts. As a US-registered corporate aircraft based under BBH PARTNERSHIP LLC in Topeka, KS, US, its mission mix likely includes company transport, regional executive travel and ad hoc charter under corporate control. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on JT15D engine programs and airframe inspections typical for mid-2000s production Hawker 400-series jets; a Nextant 400XT conversion remains an aftermarket option to upgrade systems and performance if pursued.

The airframe belongs to the Raytheon Hawker 400XP family, a light business jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speed, transcontinental short-range capability, and efficient twin JT15D turbofan propulsion. Competing models in the same mission class include earlier Citation II/Bravo variants and light Learjet derivatives; aftermarket conversions such as the Nextant 400XT offer a pathway to modernize avionics and improve performance. Market and resale considerations for N400BH hinge on engine program status, completed upgrades or conversions, and the overall maintenance record—factors that materially affect demand among corporate buyers and charter operators.
