Hawker Beechcraft is in the odd position of having two Hawker jets in its lineup that are many generations apart. The Hawker 4000 is a high-tech, super midsize jet with a carbon-fiber fuselage and the latest in system sophistication. The Hawker 900XP is the newest version of one of the very first business-jet designs. This Hawker has been in continuous production since 1962, longer than any other civilian jet. The only other airplane that comes close to such a long continuous-production run is the Boeing 737 that entered service in 1968.
