N440XT

This airframe, registered as N440XT, is a 1999 serial RK-230 remanufactured Beechjet operated under the Nextant conversions and currently owned by VWT Air LLC (a corporation based in Ewing, NJ, US). The airframe began life as a Raytheon/Beechcraft-built Beechjet 400A and was subsequently remanufactured by Nextant Aerospace into a Nextant 400XT / 400XTi configuration. The aircraft carries a US registration and is reported with an estimated market value of $4,500,000. No other registry actions are published beyond its current corporate ownership and remanufacture history.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical VIP layout with 8-passenger executive club seating and an enclosed aft lavatory, reflecting a corporate transport role focused on short- to mid‑range executive missions. Avionics were updated as part of the Nextant remanufacture to a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern flightdeck capabilities and common charter/operator systems integration. With a cruise of 460 kts and a range of 2,005 nm, the platform is suited to transcontinental hops or frequent point-to-point business schedules from its base of operations in Ewing, New Jersey. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the remanufactured systems package and the Williams FJ44 engines, which differ substantially from original factory propulsion.

As a remanufactured Beechjet converted to the Nextant 400XT / 400XTi standard, this airframe occupies a niche for buyers seeking upgraded avionics and engines at a lower acquisition cost than new light jets. Performance metrics—460 kts cruise, 2,005 nm range, and a 45,000 ft ceiling—place it competitively against older light jets and some newer entry-class designs, appealing to owner-operators and charter operators prioritizing speed and operating economy. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial involve tracking the remanufacture scope and engine time on the Williams FJ44-3AP installations when assessing long-term value.
