The new Learjet 85 aircraft redefines the midsize
segment. Launched on October 30, 2007, with a
customer-driven clean-sheet design, the Learjet 85
aircraft is the largest, fastest and most capable
Learjet aircraft ever. True to its legendary
heritage, the Learjet 85 aircraft is set to deliver the
extraordinary performance, superior technology and
exceptional value Learjet aircraft owners expect. The
jet is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307B
engines, each boasting 6,100 pounds of take-off thrust
at sea level up to 86ºF and low noise levels, while the
advanced low NOx emitting combustor offers reduced
environmental impact. The aircraft targets a high-speed
cruise of Mach 0.82 and a transcontinental range of up
to 3,000 nautical miles.
The Learjet 85 aircraft flight deck combines advanced
technology, with superior design elements for a cockpit
environment unlike any other midsize jet. The latest in
technological advancements and superior design
aesthetics from Bombardier’s Vision Flight Deck are
carried over in order to create the ultimate Learjet
aircraft flight control environment.
The aircraft’s Cabin Management System, developed by
Lufthansa Technik, will feature a high-capacity Ethernet
network, a digital amplifier to feed the high-fidelity
speaker system and an interface to support the aircraft
cabin environment, including lighting and temperature
control. The system’s open architecture also allows for
easy integration of third-party equipment and new
applications, such as high-definition features.
Learjet is the first name in corporate aviation. Since
acquiring Learjet Inc. in 1990, Bombardier Aerospace has
carried forward the brand’s proud legacy by launching
eight high-performance and fuel-efficient Learjet
aircraft. Learjet 70 aircraft: The Learjet 70
aircraft will be able to achieve an exceptional range
greater than 2,000 nautical miles at a cruise speed of
Mach 0.75. It will connect Chicago-San Juan,
Toluca-Minneapolis and London-Moscow non-stop** with six
passengers and two crew members.
Learjet 75 aircraft: With a maximum range greater than
2,000 nautical miles at cruise speeds up to Mach 0.75,
the Learjet 75 aircraft will be able to fly four
passengers and two crew members non-stop** from Los
Angeles to Toronto, Mumbai to Bangkok and Dubai to
Cairo. Additionally, it will be able to handle a range
close to 1,950 nautical miles with eight passengers**.
A
breakthrough in business aviation, the Vision Flight
Deck is designed to deliver a completely new cockpit
experience. By combining the best in technological
advancements with superior design aesthetics, it
provides pilots flying Bombardier’s Learjet 70 and
Learjet 75 aircraft an unprecedented level of control
and comfort. The Vision Flight Deck for Learjet 70 and
Learjet 75 aircraft will feature the fully integrated
Garmin G5000 digital avionics suite, designed with
