Raytheon Aircraft Company Introduces Two New Hawkers
ORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 16, 2006) – Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) announced today the
development of the Hawker 900XP and Hawker 750 models for the mid-size and super- light-mid jet markets. Following market analysis and a review of the Hawker product line, it was apparent an opportunity was not being satisfied in the light- mid size jet market. These two products will leverage the success of the Hawker 800-series cabin.
The Hawker 900XP will launch Honeywell’s new TFE731-50R engine providing improved
hot and high altitude performance with over 2,800 nm NBAA IFR range with six passengers
allowing it to make a one-stop flight from New York to Honolulu 99.9 percent of the time. It also
will have the same cabin size as the Hawker 800-series, the largest and most successful cabin in its class. Featuring a factory-customized interior by the Little Rock Completion Center, and RAC designed winglets, the 900XP will be well positioned to continue to be the most preferred airplane in the mid-size segment. Standard priced at $13.9 million, certification is expected mid-year 2007 with deliveries to begin in the 3rd Quarter.
The new Hawker 750 will be a 2,100 nm NBAA IFR range airplane with four passengers,
strategically positioned with the largest cabin in the light- mid size aircraft segment. It will have the same cabin as the Hawker 800-series, but the ventral fuel tank will be replaced with a heated external baggage compartment with 32 cubic feet of additional baggage capacity. The Hawker 750 cabin measuring 5’9” in height and 6’0” in width will be far superior in both comfort and size to anything in the light- mid size category. The airplane will continue to use the highly successful Honeywell TFE731-5BR engine and state-of-the-art Collins Pro Line 21 avionics package. The aircraft will feature a new Hawker interior designed specifically for the 750 and for this market segment. Priced at $11.2 million standard and $11.9 million typically equipped in 2007 dollars, certification is planned for Q3 2007 and deliveries will begin in the Fourth Quarter.
“The Hawker 900XP and Hawker 750 will provide us with the best combination of cabin
size, payload, and range in their respective market segments,” Brad Hatt, president, Commercial Aircraft. “Hawker has always been synonymous with quality, performance and value. Now we will have two additional products in two different market segments backed by the exceptional service and support our customers know to expect.”
