Aviation Partners Targets Over Six Hundred Hawker 800 Series
Aircraft For Mod
Hawker 800 series operators may now look forward to 7%
additional range, faster climb to altitude, higher initial cruise
levels and significantly improved performance from high and hot
airfields with Blended Winglet Technology.
The Hawker 800 series is one of the most popular mid-sized
business jets ever produced and Blended Winglet Technology makes
this legendary airplane even better and a true coast-to-coast
performer! A Hawker 800SP will fly 30 minutes longer, 180 NM
farther, 18 kts faster and with a 2000 ft higher initial cruise
altitude compared to a standard Hawker 800. High/hot airport
performance is improved with Blended Winglets and operators will
enjoy improved 2nd segment climb. With the ability to climb to
higher initial cruise altitudes, step climbs may be omitted from
many mission profiles.
Aviation Partners Inc. is the world's leading provider of
Advanced Technology Blended Winglet Systems. Today, over 70% of the
Gulfstream II fleet has been Performance Enhanced to IISPs with
Blended Winglet Technology. The Boeing Business Jet, Boeing
737-700/800 NG series and the Boeing 737-300 Classic all fly
Aviation Partners, Inc. Blended Winglet Technology. Benefits of
this revolutionary fuel saving "visible technology" promise to be
even more dramatic on Hawker 800 series aircraft.
"Blended Winglets transform the standard 2,510 NM Hawker 800 to
a 2,690 NM capable Hawker 800SP," says Aviation Partners Inc. Sales
Director Gary Dunn. "For a take off weight limited high-altitude
airport and hot day, 800SP operators will be able to depart with up
to 1,800 lbs more weight. A Blended Winglet Equipped Hawker 800
will climb higher and cruise faster, at any given cruise weight,
than the original airplane."
There are currently over six hundred Hawker 800 series aircraft,
manufactured between 1984 and the present day, in service
worldwide.
"This is the moment Hawker 800 operators have been waiting for,"
says Aviation Partners Inc. CEO Joe Clark. "We believe the benefits
of this performance upgrade are so compelling that more than 600
Hawker 800 series aircraft will transition to Blended Winglet
Enhanced 800SPs. Our technology is currently on over 300 commercial
jets through our joint venture with The Boeing Company. Anytime you
can improve the productivity of an existing airplane, it's a wise
investment."
