Ratheron Hawker 1000 Medium Corporate Business Jet Departing Dalcross Airport Inverness. SCO 9962.
The Hawker 1000 has intercontinental range capabilities and is quite roomy for a mid-sized private jet. It strikes a good balance between the various areas of private jet Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305 turbofan engines power the Hawker 1000, providing 5,255 pounds of thrust each on takeoff. A new design to reduce engine noise puts out exhaust at a slower velocity, thus producing only 90 EPNdB for a noise footprint of square miles. (A noise footprint is the area in which listeners would be significantly affected by jet engine noise). In comparison, the noise footprint of a typical twin turboprop would be square miles. The Hawker 1000 can take off in 5,950 feet at sea level, and in 8,075 feet at an altitude of 5,000 feet. The fairly low increase (thirty-six percent) in runway distance at high altitude is achieved by the use of the engines’ Automatic Performance Reserve (APR) Hawker 1000 can cruise at up to 453 knots (.68 Mach) at an altitude of 37,000 feet. Its long range cruise speed is 400 knots (.60 Mach) while flying at 41,000 feet. The Hawker 1000 has a maximum range of 3,530 miles (3,098 nautical miles). The avionics system used in the Hawker 1000 was quite advanced at the time of its release. The Honeywell SPX-8000 dual-channel fail-operational digital flight system comes standard. Also standard is the five EDZ-818 flat panel screen electronic flight instrumentation system, the Primus 870 Doppler turbulence system, the LSZ lightning sensor system and the Bendix/King KHF transceiver.
