"HAWKER 900XP, Private Charter Flights!"

While it may be an exaggeration to say there should be a picture of a Hawker 900XP in the dictionary under the definition of "mid-size business jet," it would not be much of one.

The 900XP's roots can be traced back to the de Havilland DH125, first flown in 1962. Under the Hawker Siddeley and BAe banners, the 125 evolved into the BAe 125 Series 800.


This was first flown in 1983 and incorporated many improvements over the original DH125.


This is a longer fuselage that had debuted on the 600, new engines, a larger wing and an electronic flight system-equipped cockpit.


Before the type was sold to Raytheon, 700 of the several 125 variants had been produced in the UK, making it the most prolific of all UK jet aircraft.


With the purchase, Raytheon moved Hawker production to Kansas in 1996, but wing and fuselage fabrication remained and continues to this day in the UK.


The first significant upgrade to the 800 under Raytheon was the launch of the 800XP in 1995, which featured 4,650lb-thrust (20.7kN) Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines.


A Collins ProLine 21 integrated avionics suite was added in 2002. Production winglets graced the venerable Hawker in 2006. It is now dubbed the 850XP.


Certificated by the US Federal Aviation Administration and by the European Aviation Safety Agency, the 900XP represents the most capable and modern Hawker 125 model to date.

The 900XP shares the same large mid-size cabin for which the Hawker is renowned, the largest cross-section in its class according to Hawker Beechcraft, owner of the Hawker aircraft.


Headroom throughout the cabin is 1.75m, when measured from the aisle floor. The standard interior seats eight in a club forward arrangement with a three-seat divan and single seat aft.


An optional six-place configuration is available, with more luggage space and a single seat replacing the standard configuration's divan.


One unique entertainment feature offered to passengers is a glareshield-mounted cockpit camera.


Looking forward through the windscreen, the camera allows passengers to see in real time what the pilots are seeing.


While offering 17.6m3 (620ft3) of cabin volume and the longest length (7.37m) of the three, the Sovereign has the smallest diameter cross-section.

Compared with the Hawker, the Sovereign feels like the business jet equivalent of the Boeing 757.


The Hawker has a wider cross-section that makes it feel markedly larger than the Sovereign.


At 6.5m long it offers an expanded forward galley and plenty of room for eight seats.


The G150's nearly rectangular cross-section evokes an airy feel and seems to provide a less "enclosed" space.


Seating for eight is available, but due to its shorter cabin (5.38m), it is less spacious than the Hawker.


Ambient noise level was low, allowing conversation at normal voice levels. Two 15in LCD screens are mounted in the cabin, one on the forward divider and the other on the aft.

The Hawker literally defined the mid-sized cabin, and the 900XP does not disappoint. At cruise altitude the flight deck is easy to sample the large cabin.
