Hawker Beechcraft 900XP

The Hawker 900XP is a deriative of the world's longest running corporate jet production programme and the best selling business jet of all times - the British designed DH-125 (later the HS125), which first flew in August 1962. The 125-800 first flew on May 26 1983 and it introduced a number of improvements over the BAe 125.

BAE Systems sold its corporate aircraft division to Raytheon in 1993 who transferred production to the US in 1997 and also gave the aircraft the Hawker 800 nomenclature. Raytheon sold the company to Hawker Beechcraft in 2007.

The 900XP received type certification on August 24, 2007.

The Hawker 900XP has six windows on each side differentiating ir from the larger Hawker (or BAE 125) 1000, which has eight. The aircraft features a highly swept tailfin with a high mounted swept tailplane rather than a T-tail. The Honeywell TFE-731 engines are mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. Like its predecessor, the Hawker 850XP, the new aircraft has winglets fitted as standard.
