Bombardier Learjet 45XR

About the Bombardier Learjet 45XR

New models of private jets come out every year, but it’s only ever so often that a jet is released that is truly innovative. 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 45XR even more so. The Learjet 45XR’s cabin holds eight seats (usually in a double club layout) with plenty of room to swivel, recline, and track. When combined, small increases in legroom, seat width and galley storage make a difference. Other fine points of the cabin’s design make it functional and comfortable, from worktables that fold down from the walls to an extra pressure relief port on the door for added passenger safety. The engine anti-icing system was completely redesigned for better ice removal. Bleed air load balancing software increases the engines’ total thrust and improves the rate of climb while the ice removal system is in use. The software distributes the bleed air system between the two engines so that they perform uniformly. The Learjet 45XR is certified to FAR part 25 amendment 75 safety standards, almost identical to the safety standards required for Boeing 777s. Its fuselage is made principally from high-strength aluminum alloys. Computer-controlled manufacturing process increases precision and speed of production. TThe Learjet 45XR is an extremely reliable jet with great cruise performance and fuel economy. Its innovative systems and efficient performance, borrowed from familial models, make it a viable option for anyone in search of a high-performing, cost-effective mid-sized private jet.
