The model and its relatives

Premier 1

The Premier introduced a composite fuselage to create a wider cabin without a much larger aircraft. Deliveries began in 2001; the IA followed in 2006 with cabin, brake and system improvements.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

Beechcraft approached the small business jet with a composite fuselage instead of the conventional metal shell. This helped create a relatively broad interior in a compact aircraft. The Premier’s identity therefore centred on cabin shape as much as speed. The later IA refined the original design; it did not introduce a larger fuselage or another aircraft category.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.65 m.

Will my aircraft have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
