BAe SSBJ and HS.125-800 projects

[hesham]

Hi,

the BAe SSBJ of 1986 was designed for the future as business jet
supersonic aircraft project and the HS.125-800 was developed from
HS.125 business jet aircraft with T-tail.

Hmmm, why the t-tail? The real Hs.125-800 (Hawker/Raytheon 800) kept the same tail the Hs.125 had from the beginning, of course.

Larger & in colour by Volare.
That artist's impression was also published in the German magazine Flug-Revue, March 1989, page 40.
The Italian magazine "Volare" was a subsidiary company of Flug-Revue as it says in the picture caption.

Mini concorde ? interesting, too bad that the supersonic civilian aircraft were always excesively expensive specially in the develpment stage.

BAe 125-800 proposal from 1979. RB 401-07 engines.

Only parts common to 125-700 were tail cone and nose wheel.

In the end they went for a cheaper re-working of the -700, which became the actual -800.
