The pressurized de Havilland DH 125 was rolled out in a record 16 months after initial design. The company expects the six-passenger jet will clear a 35-ft. obstacle from a 3,000-ft. runway at 19,000 lb. max takeoff. Despite the executive jet design, DH 125 is being pushed hard as a military trainer, liaison and radar trainer, with the RAF weighing the purchase of 30 units. Standard version would be about $420,000.
