Aero-TV: Traveling in Style - The Upgraded Premier 1A Cabin

A Closer Look at the Premier 1As Business-Class Comfort Cabin

In September of 1995, Raytheon Aircraft announced their first business jet, the Premier 1, featuring the latest in composite technology and swept aluminum wing design for greater speed. Finally, in March of 2001, after completing over 700 flight hours, the Premier received its official certification, including a single pilot approval, by the FAA. The Premier 1 marked the first clean-sheet business jet certified by Raytheon Aircraft, and the first new airplane certified by Raytheon in more than a decade.

The Premier 1 also represented the first FAA certified business jet with composite fuselage. Used for its superior strength, the composite design reduces overall weight by an estimated 20% compared to conventional alloy construction, resulting in an extremely light basic operating weight (3,627kg). Additionally, the elimination of internal frames increases the available cabin volume by nearly 15%, making the Premiers cabin one of the largest among comparable light jets.

In October of 2005, Raytheon announced the certification of the Premier 1A. The aircraft debuts a totally redesigned interior with restyled cabin chairs and all-new contoured cabin headliner for increased passenger comfort and space. In addition, the Premier 1As dual-controlled cockpit features the upgraded Rockwell Collins IFIS-5000 Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS) with three multi-function LCD displays, electronic charts, and enhanced map overlays. Other Premier 1A upgrades include an acoustical liner for reduced cabin noise, a pilot lift dump on demand control for better landing performance, and an improved anti-skid braking system.

After the completed sale of Raytheon Aircraft to GS Capital Partners in 2007, the Premier line became a part of the newly formed Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. On May 19, 2008, Hawker Beechcraft announced the launch of the Beechcraft Premier II, continuing the evolution in all-composite technology.

@LandRoverWay23 ur a moron,and u know that well

[lauriersroses333]

@LandRoverWay23 ur a idiot

[LandRoverWay23]

@lauriersroses333 Oh ya, its airbus 319. Know your planes before you say stupid stuff that just buries you. Looking up planes on Wikipedia real quick, doesn't mean you know your planes. Clearly you don't. If you did, you would know that most (more people own smaller business jets than larger jets like 319, 320, 321, 737, 747, etc) people own small jets. Small jets means the roof line will be low. Duh... Moron.

[LandRoverWay23]

@lauriersroses333 Just by the way you type... you're and idiot. How did I prove that I'm an idiot. It's not a 747. Talk about read some books. LOL. I realize that there are 737, 747, 707, 727, etc private planes. However, in those you can stand UP because they are large jets. Planes like that premier 1, Citation X, Challenger's, Other Citation jets, other Beechcraft jets, other Raytheon jets, which are smaller business jets have low roof lines. They are small planes. Idiot.
