The Hawker 800 was first flown as the B.Ae. 125 Series 800 powered by 2x 4300lb.s.t (19.13kN) Garrett TFE731-5’s in 1983. It was an improved version of the H.S.125 Series 700 and was built in several variants including the Series 800A which was for sale to North America only, and the Series 800B for sale to the rest of the world. In 1993 Raytheon purchased the corporate jets division of B.Ae. and the type was re-designated Raytheon Hawker 800. Production in the US began in 1996 under the designation Hawker 800 XP (Extended Performance). The Hawker 800Xpi was introduced in 2005 and features upgraded avionics. The Hawker 850XP (120+ built) was introduced in 2006 and is an upgraded version of the Hawker 800Xpi with a 4% increase in range and an improved maintenance schedule. Two other versions were also introduced in 2006. The Hawker 750 has a baggage compartment installed in place of the ventral fuel tank giving a range of 2533miles(4074km). The Hawker 900XP (30+ built) has an increased wingspan of 54’4"(16.56m) and a range of 3397miles(5463km).
