Hawker 750

BRIEF HISTORY – HAWKER 750

HAWKER BEECHCRAFT | HS 125-750 | HAWKER 750 (2008-2012)
The Hawker 750 business jet is the latest and last evolution of the de Havilland / Hawker Siddeley and British Aerospace 125 (DH-125) aircraft which was originally built in the United Kingdom beginning in 1962 and progressed into numerous variations and would become the world’s longest-running business jet program, which officially retired in 2013. Only the Boeing 737, which began service in 1968, comes close to having such a long continuous production run.The BAe 125-800 would go into production in 1983 and in 1993 when Raytheon acquired the business jets divisions of British Aerospace which included the Series 800 program, they would go on to change its name to what we know it as now, the Hawker 800. There were many variants of this aircraft over almost 50 years of production and the 750 (125-750) would be the last aircraft, alongside the 900XP, to ever be manufactured in this series.In October 2006, the Hawker 750 was unveiled at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) meeting, alongside the Hawker 900XP. NetJets, an American fractional ownership corporation, placed their order of 750’s at the convention and then quickly doubled their order to 60 planes in 2007. Other orders include 20 for Saudi Arabia’s National Air Services and four to Jet Asia.The Hawker 750 had its first flight in August 2007 and got US FAA certification in February 2008. Jet Asia Limited, which has four aircraft on order, took delivery of the aircraft in June 2008. All production ceased in 2012, for the first in almost 50 years. Following Hawker Beechcraft’s bankruptcy in 2013, the surviving company, Beechcraft, discontinued its business jet fleet, including the 750 series, but components are still available.

CABIN COMFORTS – HAWKER 750
With a cabin as spacious as the 850XP’s, it’s no surprise Raytheon / Hawker Beechcraft used the same design for the 750. With a cabin volume of 551 cubic feet (15.6 cubic meters), the aircraft kept its number one spot for largest cabin during its time. Stand-up headroom (for some), LCD lighting, touch-screen seat controls, berth-able seats, and in-cabin storage are among the cabin’s features. There are eight executive seats in the cabin or 5 executive seats and a 3 person divan.  The cabin is almost 5 feet 9 inches (1.75m) tall, 6 feet (1.83m) wide, and 21 feet 4 inches (6.49m) long allowing for pain-free mobility throughout the flight.The Hawker 750 has an internal baggage capacity of 50 cubic feet (1.42 cu m) as well as it is the only aircraft in the Hawker series to be equipped with a heated external baggage compartment measuring 32 cubic feet (0.91 cubic meters) of additional baggage space, or 500 lbs, has been installed in place of the ventral fuel tank. While this does reduce its range significantly, its range of over 2,000 nautical miles while fully loaded is still very competitive with its competitors such as the Citation XLS. But if you need to bring more luggage or any special sized items, let us know in advance to ensure we can accommodate any special requests.A microwave, a cold food box, a coffee maker, and storage for plates, cutlery, and glasses are all included in the galley near the flight deck to ensure no one flys hungry. Passengers can operate cabin temperature, lighting, and entertainment systems via LCD touch panels provided by the Rockwell Collins Airshow 21 cabin management system. In 2008, as an add-on, the Hawker 900XP could be equipped with the Aircell Axxess II satellite communications system.

POWER AND PERFORMANCE
With the same Honeywell TFE 731-5BR turbofan engines as its predecessor, the Hawker 750 has the same speed and take-off capabilities. The Hawker 750 has an NBAA IFR range of 2,050 nautical miles (2,877 mi/ 3,889km) with four passengers. The Hawker 750 requires only 5,032 feet (1,534 m) to take off and land in just 2,245 feet (685 m)! Its performance at higher altitudes and temperatures has improved as well.The Hawker 750 is capable of reaching extremely amazing speeds, with a top speed of Mach 0.80, a cruise speed of Mach 0.74 to 0.78, and a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.70, thanks to two Honeywell TFE-731 engines generating more than 10,000 lb of combined thrust.Standard thrust reversers, an in-flight operable auxiliary power unit, as well as greater brake energy capacity, a larger de-icing fluid tank, and a three-turbine-wheel air-cycle machine for substantially improved cabin cooling, are all enhancements over prior series Hawkers.

FLIGHT DECK – HAWKER 750
The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics package, which includes four 8in x 10in high-resolution Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays, is installed aboard the Hawker 900XP (AMLCD).  Dual FMS-6000 flight management systems, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS), Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TACAS), Engine Indicating System (EIS), Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS), and turbulence detection weather radar are all part of the avionics package.Digital radios and a single HF-9000 high-frequency communications system with Selcal are included in the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) system (selective calling). The Head-up Guidance System (HGS) gives the pilot a better understanding of the situation. All of this innovation and technology work in unison to decrease pilot workload and tedious tasks which increases overall focus as well as reduces pilot fatigue while increasing overall safety and efficiency in all imaginable aspects.
