1993 Hawker 1000A
- February 16, 2023
The Hawker A Series traces its lineage to one of the most distinguished names in British aviation — a heritage that flows from de Havilland through Hawker Siddeley and British Aerospace to Raytheon Aircraft and ultimately to Beechcraft. The aircraft that became the Hawker series entered service as the DH.125 in 1962, designed by de Havilland as a pure business jet at a time when the concept of corporate aviation was still taking shape. Over six decades of continuous development, that original design evolved through multiple generations and corporate owners into the Hawker 400, 700, 800, 900, and 4000 series — a family that combined genuine British engineering character with progressively modernized avionics and systems to remain competitive across a remarkable span of time.
The Hawker A Series designation covers the foundational variants of the Hawker family — the aircraft that established the type's reputation for build quality, occupant protection, and the distinctive handling character that pilots associated with the brand. The original Hawker 700 series, based on the HS.125-700 with Garrett TFE731 engines, delivered significantly better performance than the earlier Viper-powered variants while maintaining the structural robustness that Hawker's military aircraft heritage demanded. The cabin — narrow by American standards but well-appointed and thoughtfully designed — accommodates 7–8 passengers in configurations that reflect British attention to detail and material quality.
Hawker A Series aircraft represent some of the most competitively priced midsize jets available on the pre-owned market. The Garrett TFE731 engine is supported by a deep global MRO network, and enrollment on Honeywell MSP Gold provides predictable maintenance costs and strong resale value protection. Buyers seeking a proven, well-supported midsize jet at accessible acquisition cost will find Hawker A Series aircraft offer compelling economics relative to their passenger capacity and range capability.
