Hawker: History : Design & Features : Private Aircraft

Hawker History

The Hawker Series started life in 1961 as a revolutionary business jet concept by manufacturer De Havilland under the project name DH.125 Jet Dragon. Before the jet had gone into production, the British Aviation Industry experienced a series of mergers and acquisitions: De Havilland had been acquired by rival British manufacturer Hawker Siddeley, which soon came together with the British Aircraft Corporation to form BAe British Aerospace. This led to the Hawker’s well known production name BAe 125. After a short spell under the “Raytheon” brand between 1993 and 2007, the Hawker is now part of Hawker Beechcraft.

Hawker Design & Features

Apart from its solid reliability record, the Hawker Series aircraft impress their passengers with a superior range. For example the Hawker 900XP can fly up to 8 passengers over a distance of up to 4.5 hours of flight-time, allowing for genuine non-stop travel across continents.

When it comes to cabin comfort and space, the Hawker really is in a class of its own; with a cabin diameter of 5.26 meters, the Hawker outperforms all of its rivals with ease, allowing passengers on-board to walk through the aircraft with their head up high (Stand-up Cabin). Because of this, the Hawker is usually the only Mid-Size jet to have a flight attendant on-board.
