Builds On Successful 800-Series Midsize Bizjet Line

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification for the newest aircraft in the Hawker family, the new light-midsize Hawker 750, on April 30. In addition to EASA certification, the Hawker 750 also received type certifications in India, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.

Utilizing the fuselage and wings of the best-selling mid-sized business jet of all time, the Hawker 800 series, the Hawker 750 offers the largest cabin in the light-midsize aircraft segment. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification was completed on February 8, 2008, as ANN reported.

"We’re thrilled to receive EASA, Indian, Mexican and Saudi Arabian certifications, as this will allow more of our international customers to own and operate the most preferred airplane in the light mid-sized segment, the Hawker 750," said Brad Hatt, president, Commercial Sales. "With the perfect combination of reliability and operating efficiency, a large luxurious cabin and internal and external baggage areas, the Hawker 750 is the best choice in the light-midsized marketplace."

The Hawker 750 has a 2,116 nautical mile NBAA IFR range, with a generous eight-passenger interior in a cabin measuring 5’9" (1.75 m) in height and 6’0" (1.83 m) in width. That combination yields the best range and payload capability in its class, according to Hawker Beechcraft.

The aircraft sports the same cabin as the Hawker 800-series, but adds a heated external baggage compartment to provide 32 cubic feet (0.91 cu m) of additional baggage capacity. The aircraft also features a new interior designed at HBC’s Little Rock Completion Center specifically for the 750.

The Hawker 750 is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines, producing 4,660 pounds of thrust, and features a state-of-the art Collins Pro Line 21 avionics package with Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS) and enhanced map overlays.
