Overview
Program history
The 1000 first flew in 1990, combining a fuselage stretch with increased fuel capacity and a different powerplant family. The changes addressed intercontinental business travel while retaining the recognizable Hawker configuration. Its 1000A and 1000B versions reflect market certification distinctions rather than the unrelated composite Hawker 4000 design.
