Learjet 40XR Performance
In the air, the Learjet 40XR has numerous performance specifications to match its excellent reputation. For example, the Learjet 40XR’s Honeywell TRE731-20-BR engines provide enough thrust to achieve a 530 mph cruising top speed over an 1,861 nautical mile range. It can even cruise at altitudes up to 51,000 ft., thus allowing it to navigate around inclement weather.
Though you won’t need to interact with it, you can take comfort in knowing that this jet’s Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite is among the most reliable in the industry. As such, your pilot will be able to use it to facilitate takeoffs from runways as short as 5,000 ft. in length.
