About the British Aerospace Raytheon BAe/Raytheon HS 125-1000

The Hawker 700A represents the mid-1970s evolution of the venerable British Aerospace HS-125 business jet lineage, a family that began in 1962 and became one of the most successful corporate jets ever built. The 700-series introduced more powerful Garrett TFE731-3R turbofans producing 3,700 pounds of thrust each, replacing the earlier Viper turbojets and giving the aircraft significantly improved hot-and-high performance and fuel efficiency. With seating for eight to nine passengers in a stand-up cabin, the 700A carved out a niche as a transcontinental business jet capable of nonstop coast-to-coast flights across the United States, a range of approximately 2,500 nautical miles that made it competitive with Learjets and early Gulfstreams of the era.

The type's distinctive T-tail and low-mounted engines became iconic in corporate aviation, and many airframes remain in service decades after production ended in the early 1980s, testament to the design's ruggedness and relatively simple systems. The 700A cruises at Mach 0.75 to 0.78 at altitudes up to 41,000 feet, with a maximum operating speed of 402 knots IAS or Mach 0.83, making it brisk for its generation. Approach speeds around 115 knots and stall characteristics in the low 90-knot range made it manageable at shorter runways, a key selling point for corporate operators accessing secondary airports.
