The flight deck is equipped with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS) and Rockwell Collins AHC-3000 Automatic Heading Reference System (AHRS). The aircraft can be flown by a pilot and co-pilot or by a single pilot. The cockpit is fitted with dual controls. Electromagnetic expulsion de-icing (EMNEDI) protects the leading edges of the tailplane. The wing leading edges and the inlets of the engine nacelles are fitted with an engine air bleed anti-icing system. Ice detectors mounted in the nose of the aircraft activate the aircraft’s de-icing systems. The elimination of the internal frames in the design of the fuselage increases the available cabin volume by nearly 15% and reduces the weight by about 20% in comparison to a conventional alloy construction. The tail plane is also of swept back design. The swept back aluminium alloy wings are set below the fuselage which gives the aircraft a large cabin space relative to the overall length of the aircraft. “The Premier 1’s heated and air-conditioned cabin can accommodate six passengers.” The fuselage is built without internal frames and is of graphite and epoxy laminate and honeycomb composite construction. Certification of the Premier II is planned for 2010. The maximum gross take-off weight is also increased to 6,260kg (13,800lb). The Premier II will have new Williams FJ44-3AP engines providing 26.8kN (6,000lb) of combined thrust, a range increased to 2,780km, maximum altitude increased to 13,716m (45,000ft) and cruise speed increased to 861km/h (465kt). In May 2008, Hawker Beechcraft announced the Premier II. The aircraft has an improved interior, seating and avionics suite and ‘acoustical liner’ to reduce cabin noise levels. In May 2005, Raytheon announced an upgrade, the Premier IA, which received certification in October 2005. The composite fuselage also provides a larger cabin size, accommodating eight people including the pilot. In March 2003, a Premier 1 established a new speed record when it flew from Wichita, Kansas to the East Coast of the USA, 1,854km (1,152 miles) at an average speed of 1,028km/h (639mph).įor its size, the Premier 1 is very light (basic operating weight 3,627kg) and features a composite fuselage for superior strength and less weight and swept metal wings for greater speed. By September 2007, 190 Premier I aircraft had been delivered. Delivery of the Premier I started in 2001 and the Premier I has joined the Flight Options fleet of King Air B200s, Hawker 400XP and Hawker 800XPs. The new company is called Hawker Beechcraft Inc and the sale was completed in March 2007.įlight Options LLC (formerly Raytheon Travel Air), a subsidiary of Raytheon, ordered 22 Premier I aircraft for its fractional ownership programme. In December 2006, Raytheon announced the sale of Raytheon Aircraft to GS Capital Partners. Upgrade kits for RVSM capability are available for aircraft already delivered. It received FAA RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum) certification in May 2003. The Premier 1 received FAA certification, including single pilot approval, in 2001. Raytheon gained over 200 orders for the Premier 1 from customers in 26 countries by 1999, before the aircraft was submitted for FAA approval. The aircraft completed its first flight in 1998. The Raytheon Aircraft Company based in Wichita, Kansas, started the design of the Premier 1 light business jet in 1994 and announced the launch of the new aircraft in 1995. The Premier 1 light business jet is the first all-new business jet built by Raytheon Aircraft from an original design and is the first in a family of business jets, which features all-composite fuselage and swept aluminium wing design. The Premier 1 has a cruise speed of more than 520mph. The six-passenger entry-level Premier 1, shown alongside the Hawker 4000 (previously known as the Hawker Horizon - foreground). The interior of the Premier 1 has four club-style seats and two fixed seats at the rear. The Premier 1 with the Hawker 4000 (previously known as the Hawker Horizon) in the foreground. The Premier 1 aircraft features a composite fuselage for superior strength and less weight and swept metal wings for greater speed. Deliveries of the Premier 1 light business jet I began in 2001, following FAA certification, including single pilot approval.
