Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N46WC, is a Hawker 4000 built in 2011 with serial number RC-63. It is recorded as owned by WELDBEND CORP, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe’s records reflect type certification seating of 12 while the installed cabin is a typical 8‑place executive layout; registration and seating distinctions are noted in FAA listings. No other operators or registry transfers are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific Hawker 4000 is described as a typical eight‑place executive layout within a 25 ft cabin length and 6 ft cabin height, while the FAA type certification lists 12 seats; this can affect charter configuration and regulatory compliance for passenger-carrying operations. Avionics are fitted with a Honeywell Primus Epic suite providing EICAS, FADEC integration for the PW308A engines, and autothrottle capability, supporting reduced crew workload on longer flights. With a long-range capability of 3,341 nm and a high cruise speed of 470 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and select transoceanic flights from its owner/operator base in Wilmington, DE. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft center on PW308A engine support and monitoring of FADEC/avionics software updates tied to the Primus Epic system.

The Hawker 4000 occupies a super‑midsize business jet niche offering high cruise speed and long range relative to light and mid-size competitors. In the market, it competes with other super‑midsize types where demand is driven by owners needing intercontinental capability with executive cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308A support, airframe-time since 2011 build, and avionics lifecycle for the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, all factors that influence buyer and charter market interest.
