Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Are they really able to squeeze another 500 nm by changing the engines on these things and getting a 2000 mile range with 4 people?
Regular Beech is a 1100ish NM airplane.

2000 mile range is based on manufacturer book numbers, not real world ops. I can guarantee, like any airplane that the book numbers are going to be a couple hundred pounds less fuel then you would ever be comfortable landing with.
Is your boss entertaining the idea of a CJ2+, CJ3 or CJ4? I really think this series, especially the latter two would kill your mission.
Well then I guess they are advertising a 900 mile increase in range! Amazing what a little aerodynamic rework and some efficient engines can do. What about Beeches XPR upgrade? They say the Nextant engine choice is not suitable for the 400.
You flying a /47 or /45? I found the seats on the 45s to be significantly more comfortable.
/45. I've heard the same about the /47. Don't mess with success!
