There are about 35 years between the launch of the Hawker 700 and the production stop of the 900XP. Newer and more efficient engines have improved the range with each new model. The Hawker 900XP, for example, has an impressive range of 5,219 kilometres, while travellers in the Hawker 700 can only travel to destinations around 2,000 kilometres closer. For most intra-European flights, however, this difference does not matter.
