It appears Hawker Beechcraft may be slowing deliveries of its Hawker 4000 business jet.
Moog Inc., a supplier to the business jet and other markets, said yesterday in a earnings conference call that its business jet product line showed a decline in the last quarter of 2008. Sales were down 18 percent, it said, “mostly having to do with the reduced level of shipments on the Hawker 4000. Although the company of Hawker Beechcraft insists that they are maintain (sic) their delivery schedule of this airplane, we’ve already delivered more hardware than they were able to use. So our effort has slowed down.”
The remarks were in an earnings call transcript. Among its products, Moog supplies fly-by-wire systems, leading edge and trailing edge flap acuation systems and stabilizer trim systems to business jet manufacturers, its website said.
