The Hawker 750 is a midsize business jet developed as a derivative of the successful Hawker 800XP series, designed to offer operators improved mission flexibility through cabin and storage modifications. First announced in 2006, the Hawker 750 was built by Hawker Beechcraft, continuing the legacy of the original British Aerospace HS.125 platform that began in the early 1960s. Production of the 750 ran from 2008 until 2011, with deliveries ceasing when Hawker Beechcraft entered bankruptcy proceedings.
The Hawker 750 retained the same fuselage cross-section and flight deck as the 800XP but introduced two key changes: new winglets developed by Raytheon (improving climb and fuel efficiency) and the replacement of the rear fuselage fuel tank with an externally accessible baggage compartment. This modification provided an additional 32 cubic feet of storage space, a major advantage for charter and corporate missions requiring more luggage capacity. The aircraft is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-5BR turbofan engines, each producing 4,660 pounds of thrust, enabling a maximum range of approximately 2,116 nautical miles and a typical high-speed cruise of Mach 0.78 (447 knots).
With a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 27,000 pounds and a balanced field length of around 4,600 feet, the Hawker 750 is optimized for mid-range missions between secondary city pairs. Its cabin, nearly identical to the Hawker 800XP, provides 604 cubic feet of volume and a flat floor, accommodating 6–8 passengers in a business seating layout.
Operators value the Hawker 750 for combining the proven reliability of the 800-series with added baggage capacity and winglet-enhanced performance. While its production run was short, it remains a competitive option on the pre-owned midsize jet market.
