"LEARJET 40, Infomation!"
Market research showed that any replacement for the Learjet 31A would need to offer a more-spacious cabin and modern avionics while providing lower direct operating costs.
The Learjet 40 is a straightforward shrink of the 45. To pare the super-light design down to fit the light-jet niche, 620mm (24.5in) of fuselage was removed forward of the wing, along with three of the original 16 cabin windows.
An enhanced Learjet 40, the 40 XR, entered service in February 2006. The Learjet 60 XR made its first flight in April, 2006 and entered service in July 2007. The Learjet 31A ceased production in 2003.
A new addition to the family, the Learjet 85, was launched in October 2007. The Learjet 85 will be of all-composite structure and is scheduled to enter service in 2012.
Over 2,300 Learjets have been built and are in operation as corporate jets worldwide. Bill Lear founded the American Aviation Corporation in 1960.
The company, renamed the Learjet Corporation was transferred to Kansas in 1962 and one year later the original Learjet made its first flight.
Facilities were also opened in Tucson, Arizona in 1967. Bombardier of Canada purchased the company in 1990 and the company became Learjet, Inc.
The Learjet 45 is certified by both the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), and it is approved by the regulatory agencies in more than 30 countries.
It received certification for London City Airport in October 2004 and received full type approval the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in January 2005.
Weighing only 35,000lb (15,874kg), the Learjet 45 is equipped with advanced flight software and architecture.
Such as an engine instrument and crew advisory system (EICAS) and on-board maintenance diagnostics, to minimise pilot and maintenance workloads.
The fuselage is manufactured at the Bombardier Aerospace facilities in Belfast. De Havilland of Canada is responsible for the manufacture of the wings.
Bombardier Aerospace Learjet in Wichita, Kansas, is responsible for final assembly, fitting, test and flight certification.
Learjet 45 jets can be specially configured and customised to be used for pilot training. Orders from Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Cathay Pacific Airways have been for use in a training role.
The aircraft is equipped with a Honeywell Primus 1000 four, 8in×7in tube electronic flight and information system with a Primus 1000 digital autopilot and flight director.
It has an Engine Instrument and Crew Advisory System (EICAS) and a Honeywell Primus 660 weather radar. The navigation and communications system is the Primus II.
The aircraft can be fitted with a TCAS II Honeywell traffic alert and collision avoidance system.
The ergonomically-designed cockpit accommodates the two crew. The windscreen is fitted with an electric defogging and anti-icing system.
The dual independent anti-icing and de-icing systems include engine bleed air anti-icing on the engine inlets, the wings and on the tailplane leading edges.
The 6.11m² passenger cabin seats up to nine passengers in double-club seating. The cabin is fitted with swivelling recliner seats and tables, and a galley with passenger facilities.
The Learjet 40 meets the FAA’s rigorous part 25 safety requirements, as well as the FAR-36 noise levels.
The Learjet 40 has some other details worth noting, such as carbon brakes and wing spoilers, provide soft landings, and “delta fins” on the vertical stabilizer increase stability, allowing for better control in stalls.
