1992 Hawker 1000B
- February 16, 2023
The Hawker B Series designates the larger-cabin, higher-performance members of the Hawker family — specifically the Hawker 1000 and the related Hawker Siddeley HS.125-1000, which extended the fundamental HS.125 design concept to its ultimate expression with a stretched fuselage, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305 engines, and intercontinental range capability that the original shorter-fuselage Hawkers could not approach. The Hawker 1000 represented Raytheon's ambitious attempt to move the Hawker brand from the midsize into the super midsize category, creating an aircraft with 3,600 nm range and a fully flat-floor cabin seating nine passengers in genuine long-range comfort.
The Hawker 1000's 26.7-foot main cabin, flat floor throughout, and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305B engines at 5,225 lb thrust each delivered performance and passenger accommodation that the shorter Hawker 800 family could not match. The PW305's fuel efficiency and FADEC control gave the 1000 range that opened transatlantic routing possibilities — New York to London with favorable winds, European city pairs with genuine nonstop capability. The Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics suite and full weather radar made the 1000 a capable IFR platform regardless of conditions. MSP Gold enrollment on the PW305 engines provides the maintenance cost predictability that Hawker 1000 operators rely on for accurate operational budgeting.
Pre-owned Hawker 1000 aircraft represent the largest-cabin, longest-range member of the Hawker family at acquisition prices that typically fall below competing super midsize jets with comparable capability. The type's limited production numbers — fewer than 50 aircraft built — mean that availability on the pre-owned market is constrained relative to demand from operators who value the combination of British cabin quality, proven PW305 engines, and genuine intercontinental range. A well-maintained, MSP-enrolled Hawker 1000 offers exceptional value for the discerning buyer who takes the time to find one.
