Hawker Question

[someguy]

At the end of the day, what is the difference between the 700A and the 800A with regards to speed and endurance?

Not much really...the 800 has a nice windscreen and a much more comfortable cockpit. The numbers are:

MTOW-25500/27520
MMO-.78/.80
Fuel-9440/10030
Thrust-3700/4304 (may be more on 700, most are around 3900 now depending on engine version). Engines are DEEC equipped, although this is a mod on the 700's I think almost all have them now.

speed will be better on the 8, your average 700 is going to do .70-.74 and the 8 is .72-.75 (these are the realistic numbers), both are slow.

From the back, the pax won't know the difference if the interiors are up to date.

Range and endurance are similar, slightly better on the 8 but nothing to write home about, figure 1500-1550/hr for a block time range landing with 1700 or so. Either way, forget the NY-LA run.

From a pilot's point of view, the 7 cockpit sucks and the 8's is very nice. From the owner's point of view-both will accomplish the same thing in the same cabin with the same lugage capacity for the nearly identical fuel cost and time.

For the money, though a bit slow, these things have very comfortable cabins-worlds apart from a lear and most citations. Both are bricks, they are stable and easy to fly, great in crosswinds and mx is everywhere.

Thanks for the info.
