De Havilland DH.125 / Hawker Siddeley HS.125 / BAe 125

In 1961, de Havilland began working on a revolutionary small business jet known as DH.125 Jet Dragon. The first of two prototypes flew on 13 August 1962 with Rolls-Royce Viper 20 engines producing 1350kg of thrust each. The first production aircraft had a 0.9m greater wingspan and 1.2m longer fuselage as well as Viper 520 engines.

The aircraft went through many designation changes during its service life. Originally DH.125, it was renamed to HS.125 when de Havilland became a part of the Hawker-Siddeley group. When Hawker-Siddeley itself merged into British Aerospace in 1977, the name was changed to BAe 125. Then, when British Aerospace sold its Business Jets Division to Raytheon in 1993, the jet acquired its current monicker Raytheon Hawker. In 1996, production was transferred to United States.

Over 1,000 aircraft have been built.
