BOMBARDIER LEARJET 45 45XR

The Learjet 45 (LJ45) aircraft is a super-light sized business jet aircraft produced by Bombardier Aerospace.

The medium-range Learjet 45, replacing the 35, is one of the rare jets to seamlessly integrate new technology with a tested and successful older design. Its speed and economy are to be expected – being a Learjet – but its remaining features combine to create a high-quality private jet and the 45 even more so.

The 45 is of classic Learjet design and layout. However a number of key design changes were made early into the 45’s design life including a larger fin and rudder, extended engine pylons, smaller delta fins, full span elevators, and single piece flaps.

Larger than the Learjet 31 and smaller than the 60, Learjet states that the 45’s 1.50m (4.9ft) high and 1.55m (5.1ft) wide cabin will provide more head and shoulder room than any other aircraft in its class. The cabin is designed to accommodate double club seating, a galley and a full width aft rest room, while eight windows line each side of the cabin.

Aircraft of similar role, configuration and era are: Cessna Citation III / Cessna Citation VII, Gulfstream G100, Hawker 800XP, Pilatus PC-24.
