The aircraft is derived from the Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond which first flew in 1978. Beech entered an agreement with Mitsubishi in 1985 to acquire the rights to the Diamond II. Beech made a number of design modifications to improve the performance of the aircraft and it was renamed the Beechjet 400. In total, 64 Beechjet 400 aircraft were built. Initially, Beech assembled aircraft components manufactured by Mitsubishi. However, by 1989, Beech had relocated the manufacturing to the Wichita based manufacturing facility. The 400A was announced in 1989 and it entered service in 1990. More than 400 Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400 XP aircraft have been built.
