N402XT Will Be On Static Display In Geneva Next Week
The first fully conforming production 400XT aircraft will be
unveiled next week at the 11th Annual European Business Aviation
Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland, according
to a statement from Nextant Aerospace.
Nextant Aerospace 400XT
Launched in 2007, the company's remanufacturing process was
conceived in response to evolving market trends and customer needs.
“The company’s goal was to create a product that
offered the latest in business jet technology without layering in
the overwhelming R&D costs that are typically associated with
clean-sheet design aircraft,” stated Kenn Ricci, Nextant
Aerospace founder. “The release of the first fully conforming
production aircraft is a significant accomplishment for Nextant and
it brings us one step closer to our first retail delivery later
this summer.”
N402XT, the tail number given to production number one, will be
available for public viewing at the static aircraft display and
will feature the custom paint design and cabin interior that will
be standard on all 400XT aircraft. The cabin environment will
feature several enhancements including the Rockwell Collins Venue
in-flight entertainment system and the Aircell Axxess voice and
data communication system. The cockpit is configured to demonstrate
the full capability of the Pro Line 21 avionics suite. The company
intends to utilize the aircraft as a demonstration platform for
customers until the final STC is issued later this quarter.
