The Hawker 1000 was the largest member of the DH/HS/BAE-125/Hawker 800 series of corporate jets. The Hawker 1000 is based on the smaller Hawker 800 and has a cabin three feet longer and is powered by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW-305 turbofans instead of the Honeywell TFE-731 on the Hawker 800. These engines give the Hawker 1000 565 pounds of extra thrust on each engine. The 1000 differs from the 800 in a number of respects however and features a stretched fuselage. The 1000 is identifiable via its seven main cabin windows per side, whereas the 800 has six, and the 0.84m (2ft 9in) stretch (achieved by small fuselage plugs in front of and behind the wing) allowing an increase in max seating to 15. However as it is optimized for long range intercontinental work, the typical Hawker 1000 configuration seats one less than the smaller Hawker 800.
