Hawker Beechcraft · Hawker 800/800XP

The Hawker 800XP, is a third-generation model of the 800 series and one of the most successful private jets that Hawker Beechcraft has ever made. It is designed to complete transcontinental and international flights as needed, as well as have good short range capabilities.

 

The cabin of the Hawker 800XP is typically configured with eight seats: a four-person club section, a three-person divan, and one forward-facing seat. The seats are fully adjustable and can swivel 360°. Cabin noise levels usually stay in the low 70-decibel range. The cabin itself measures 21.3 feet long, 5.7 feet high and 6 feet wide. There is a baggage compartment accessible in-flight which holds 48 cubic feet of luggage.

 

The Hawker 800XP can climb to an altitude of 37,000 feet in twenty minutes, where it can reach its high cruise speed of 447 knots. For long range cruise speeds, the Hawker 800XP flies at 39,000 feet at a speed of 400 knots. If needed, it can fly up to 41,000 feet to avoid traffic or weather.

 

One of the Hawker 800XP’s strong points is its ability to take off from runways much shorter than are typically required for private jet international flights. When carrying six passengers, crew, and their baggage, the Hawker 800XP’s maximum range is 2,900 miles (2,540 nautical miles). Possible flights would include New York to Los Angeles or Singapore to Beijing.
