Contents. Development In April 1981, the Board sanctioned the programme to improve the -700 series. By May 1983 the new aircraft was ready for its first test flight. The BAe 125-800 series has a number of modifications and changes over the 700, the most noticeable being the redesigned cockpit windscreen. Accompanying this are a modified rear fuselage fairing, as well as a and uprated (from 3,700 to 4,300 lb thrust) engines. British Aerospace also improved the wing by incorporating new outer wing sections. This helped to reduce drag and improve aerodynamic efficiency.

The 125-800 series would become a sales success. From the first BAe 125 flight in August 1961 it took nineteen years until the 500th airframe was sold. In a little over five years, British Aerospace were registering the 200th sale of the 800 series. In 1994 Raytheon (which bought in 1980) acquired Corporate Jets. The new entity being known as Raytheon Aircraft. In March 2007, Raytheon divested its aircraft manufacturing business to Hawker Beechcraft Corp., a company formed and controlled by and of Canada. The last version was the Hawker 850XP, which was certified for operation in March 2006.

The 850XP is identical to the 800XP except that it includes, which have extended its operating range by 100 nautical miles (190 km). This version also incorporates upgraded and a redesigned interior. The Hawker 850XP essentially fills the gap left behind by the Hawker 1000 when production of that aircraft ceased. Two new variants were announced in October 2006 for future deliveries:. The Hawker 750, in which the ventral fuel tank is replaced by an externally accessed baggage pannier, which reduces range slightly. The Hawker 900XP, using new Honeywell TFE731-50BR engines for increased range After the 2013 bankruptcy of Hawker Beechcraft, the surviving company, discontinued its business jet range, including the 800 series, although the designs are still supported for parts.

Raytheon Hawker 800 The Hawker 800 is similar to most modern airframes in requiring sub-assemblies to be constructed away from the final point of manufacture. The fuselage sections, wings and control surfaces are manufactured and assembled in the United Kingdom in a combination of Hawker Beechcraft's own facility and those owned by, which inherited much of 's civil aircraft manufacturing capacity. These sections are partially fitted out and installed with control surfacing and major systems before being shipped to Hawker Beechcraft's main manufacturing site in for final assembly, fitting out and testing. Military variants.

U-125A at, 2009 Japan uses a maritime variant of the Hawker 800. It is designated the U-125A in service.

This variant has large observation windows, a flare and marker-buoy dispenser system, life-raft and emergency equipment dropping system and enhanced salt water corrosion prevention. The aircraft also has a Toshiba 360-degree search radar, melco equipment and other military communications equipment for its mission. A military version of the Hawker 800XP is in use by for tactical, and (SIGnals INTelligence) tasks, and 8 specially equipped aircraft were delivered in 2000. The calls them RC-800s, and they are based.
