Hawker 800
The Hawker 800 combines the established 125 cabin concept with a revised wing, aerodynamic nose and increased fuel capability. Its twin TFE731 engines and midsize cabin made it a continuing choice for corporate transport, forming the basis of several later Hawker derivatives.

Overview
Program history
The 800 first flew in 1983 as British Aerospace continued the 125 program. Changes to wing span, fuselage aerodynamics and the tail accompanied increased fuel capacity. The aircraft subsequently developed into the 800XP, while the 850XP and 900XP continued the family through further aerodynamic and engine improvements.
