The Little Jet That Could: A Quick History of the MU300

There is a great article from AIN - MU300: Japan's Sparkling Gem - that goes into great detail about the MU300 from post WWII through the Hawker era and beyond. Checkout the full length article here: https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-07-01/mu-300-japans-sparkling-gem

We also found this helpful article from Aircraft Recognition Guide that helps shed some light on the variations and iterations that came from the MU300 - https://www.aircraftrecognitionguide.com/beech-400-mitsubishi-mu-300

Wikipedia's description of the MU300 is confusing. It doesn't provide the chronology and detail you expect. So, we scoured a few sources and put together a few quick facts about the Mitsubishi MU300 Diamond.

The Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond, a Japanese-designed business jet initially produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, boasts a remarkable history marked by technological advancements, successful military contracts (including the US Air Force's T-1A Jayhawk), and enduring popularity through various rebranding and remanufacturing programs under Beechcraft, Hawker Beechcraft, and independent companies. Despite initial production ceasing, the aircraft's legacy persists due to its robust design, cost-effectiveness, and continuous upgrades, securing its place as a significant player in the business aviation world, with over 1,000 units produced across its various iterations.

Mitsubishi, a prominent Japanese industrial conglomerate, has a long history in aircraft manufacturing, dating to before World War II. Post-war, they re-established themselves, playing a key role in the resurgence of Japanese aviation. Their earlier successes included the MU-2 twin-turboprop.

The MU-300 Diamond, developed in the late 1970s, was Mitsubishi's foray into the business jet market. It was a conventional design with swept wings and a T-tail, powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D turbofans. Initial development was rapid, but certification was delayed due to new safety regulations following a DC-10 crash.

The MU-300 Diamond was initially assembled in San Angelo, Texas, using Japanese-built kits. Several variants followed (Diamond 1A, Diamond II), with improvements in engines and avionics. Around 61 Diamond I and 27 Diamond 1A models were produced.

In 1985, Mitsubishi sold the design rights and remaining kits of the Diamond II to Beechcraft. Beechcraft rebranded it as the Beechjet 400, and later versions (Beechjet 400A, 400XP) were successful, leading to significant military contracts, particularly the T-1A Jayhawk trainer for the U.S. Air Force (nearly 180 units). Japan's Air Self-Defense Force also acquired a small number (13).

Through subsequent ownership changes (Raytheon, Hawker Beechcraft, Textron), the aircraft continued to evolve. The Hawker 400, later versions, and independent remanufacturing programs (Nextant Aerospace's 400XT and Textron's 400XPR) ensured its continued presence in the market even after original production ceased. The aircraft's success is attributable to its good performance, relatively low operating costs, and continuous upgrades. Overall production exceeded 1,000 units, including military versions.
