Power, Range, and Stand-Up Comfort
Overview
The Hawker 700A (Model 125-700 series), introduced around 1977/1978, represents a pivotal moment in the 125 series history, modernizing the proven airframe to meet demands for greater efficiency and range. Its defining feature was the critical engine upgrade: the inefficient Rolls-Royce Viper turbojets of older models were replaced with highly efficient Garrett/Honeywell TFE731-3H turbofans, delivering 3,700 lbf of thrust each. This conversion resulted in a dramatic range increase (often exceeding 1,000 nautical miles over its predecessor) and superior fuel economy, transforming the jet into a reliable mid-range performer. The 700A maintained the spacious, structurally robust fuselage known for its excellent 5,9 feet of stand-up headroom and 6-foot width, maximizing passenger mobility and comfort. By successfully establishing the core attributes of reliability, spaciousness, and modern efficiency, the Hawker 700A laid the foundational standard for all subsequent long-range Hawker variants.

Reliability and Transcontinental Range
Key feature
The Hawker 700A blends proven, military-derived structural integrity with a pivotal engine upgrade. These two features define its value, assuring the client of maximum operational reliability and the transcontinental capability needed for demanding, long-range executive missions.
Robust, Time-Tested Airframe
Safety & Operational Advantage
The Hawker 700A benefits from the exceptional structural pedigree of the long-serving Model 125 series. This airframe is famously known for its robust, tank-like construction and superior structural integrity, having been proven over decades of rigorous service across military and civilian roles globally. This structural toughness minimizes operational downtime due to airframe fatigue and provides a high level of intrinsic safety assurance for the client. The durability of the design ensures reliable handling and stability across varying conditions, contributing to a smoother flight experience. By choosing the Hawker 700A, the passenger is choosing an executive jet built upon a foundation of enduring quality and unparalleled reliability, ensuring predictable scheduling and confidence in the aircraft's mission readiness every time. This unyielding construction is a cornerstone of the Hawker's legacy.
Massive Range Increase
Performance & Technical Excellence
The 700A is defined by its critical performance upgrade: the replacement of the older Rolls-Royce Viper turbojets with the highly efficient Honeywell TFE731-3H turbofans. This engine modernization resulted in a massive increase in maximum range often exceeding 1,000 nautical miles over its predecessors. This leap in capability transformed the aircraft from a regional jet into a true transcontinental midsize performer, capable of reliable routes approaching 2,500 nautical miles. Furthermore, the TFE731 engines offer superior fuel efficiency and lower noise signatures than the older power plants. This combination of extended range, reduced fuel burn, and lower operating costs provides the customer with highly flexible routing options and a cost-effective solution for long-distance executive travel, maximizing both utility and efficiency for the demanding corporate traveler.
