The Hawker 850XP is considered the best-selling midsize corporate jet because of its new winglets and advanced Pro Line 21 avionics. Originally designed and manufactured by British Aerospace as the BAe 125, it is currently manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft. The 850XP is identical to the 800XP except that it includes winglets which have extended its operating range by 100 nautical miles. This version also incorporates upgraded avionics and a redesigned interior. The Hawker 850XP essentially fills the gap left behind by the Hawker 1000 when production of that aircraft ceased. This current version was certified for operation in March 2006.
The Hawker 850XP has the new standard in design, technology and performance breakthroughs. With new winglets that reduce drag and an advanced upgraded avionics suite that enhances operational efficiency, the Hawker 850XP climbs faster, delivers better performance and goes farther on less fuel than its predecessor. In addition, with the largest cabin in its class, the Hawker 850XP provides unparalleled passenger comfort.
The Hawker could carry 2 pilots and 8-10 passengers. The Hawker 800XP boasts almost 40% more space than its closest competitors. Baggage area is located in the cabin with 48 cubic feet of interior luggage space. Some examples of nonstop flights include California to Detroit, New York to Aspen, and Dallas to New York.
