The Learjet 60XR features the largest cabin yet in the storied Learjet line, able to carry up to 8 passengers in ample comfort through offering the most space where it counts – namely elbow room for seated passengers. The aircraft also offers impressive cruise performance, with its two Pratt & Whitney PW305A turbofans allowing the Learjet 60 to climb to its cruise level of 43,000 feet in less than 14 minutes with its maximum takeoff weight of 23,500 pounds. Once at cruise level, it can reach speeds of up to 453 knots (about Mach .76) with a transcontinental range of

Introduced in 1985, the Learjet 55 midsize private jet incorporates successful elements of earlier Lear aircraft in a larger fuselage, offering the perfect combination of the older 30-series’ powerful turbofan engines and the 20-series’ distinctive Longhorn wing. A pair of TFE 731-3A-2B engines power the Lear 55, providing 3,700 lbs of thrust apiece, while an increased wingspan and drag-reducing winglets offer improved aerodynamics compared with earlier Learjet designs, while also offering a standup cabin with 50% more volume than its predecessors. The Learjet 55 can fly at a maximum operating speed of Mach .81 with a high-speed cruise of 458
Intended to be the ultimate evolution of the storied Hawker 800 line and an even more capable aircraft than the impressive 850XP, the Hawker 900XP retains all its predecessor’s impressive traits in fuel efficiency, aerodynamics, comfort, and performance, with new engines and enhanced winglets increasing hot/high performance, high speed cruise, and range. The Honeywell TFE731-50R engines were designed specifically for the 900XP, with each rated at 4,660 lbs. of thrust resulting in improved climb performance to its maximum operating altitude of 41,000 feet. Otherwise, the 900XP offers the same flight deck and cabin improvements introduced on the successful 850XP, resulting
The Hawker 850XP climbs faster, goes farther, and performs better than its predecessor, the successful 800XP. Certified in 2006, the 850XP benefits from aerodynamic-enhancing winglets, a slight modification that yields significant improvements to overall performance. The 850XP climbs to 39,000 feet two minutes less than its predecessor, and can travel an additional 100 nautical miles – allowing cross-country trips such as Teterboro to San Francisco. Less drag means that the aircraft can travel against headwinds at a high-speed cruise of 448 knots, and requires less fuel. The Hawker 850XP also features upgraded avionics, while its cabin offers stand-up headroom, LCD
The third-generation model of the storied Hawker 800 series of private jets, the Hawker 800XP is one of the most successful private jets ever built. Designed for transcontinental and international flights, the Hawker 800XP also offers impressive short range capabilities, resulting in the ideal all-purpose private aircraft for many operators. The Hawker 800XP cabin is typically configured with a four-person club section, a three-person divan, and one forward-facing seat, all offering full adjustability. Two Garret/AlliedSignal TFE731-5BR engines provide 4,660 pounds of thrust each on takeoff, offering the power to climb to an altitude of 37,000 feet in 20 minutes, and

First delivered in 2008, the Hawker Beechcraft 750 is a light-to-midsize jet based on the Hawker 800, but offering more baggage space thanks to replacement of the Hawker 800’s ventral fuel tank with an external, heated baggage compartment. The Hawker 750 upholds the company’s high reliability and performance standards, with its biggest advantage being a luxurious cabin measuring over 21 feet long, 5.7 feet-high and 6 feet wide, offering comparable accommodations to midsize private jets with the efficiency and performance of a light jet aircraft. This allows room for 7-8 passengers, as well as a forward galley, a roomy lavatory,
Introduced in 1983, the Hawker 800 offers several improvements over the 700, the most noticeable being the redesigned cockpit windscreen. Accompanying this are a modified rear fuselage fairing, as well as a glass cockpit and uprated Garrett TFE731-5R-1H engines providing 4,200 pounds of thrust apiece on takeoff. British Aerospace also improved the wing by incorporating new outer wing sections, which helped to reduce drag and improve aerodynamic efficiency. This resulted in the best-selling variant of the 125 aircraft family to-date, and one of the most popular light business jets in the category. The Hawker 800A also sports aerodynamic winglets that
