Description

The Beechcraft Premier is the name given to a series of light jet aircraft made by the Beechcraft division of Hawker Beechcraft. The series consists of the Model 390 Premier I and the Premier II. The aircraft was designed to compete with the Cessna CitationJet series of aircraft. The Premier appears to be the fastest civilian aircraft to be certified for flight by a single pilot under IFR conditions (at night and in limited visibility weather conditions). It also has an exceptionally roomy cabin for a light jet aircraft: 13'6" (4,11 m) long x 5'6" (1,68 m) wide x 5'5" (1,65 m) tall, with folding table, four club type seats, two forward-facing seats, and a partitioned aft toilet. On 19 May 2008 Hawker Beechcraft announced the launch of the Premier II. Developed from the Premier IA, the new aircraft features higher cruise speeds, a 20% longer range with four passenger, and increased payload. The aircraft features composite materials for the fuselage, more powerful engines and new winglets to achieve performance improvements over the previous model.
