Introduced in 1985, the Learjet 55 midsize private jet incorporates successful elements of earlier Lear aircraft in a larger fuselage, offering the perfect combination of the older 30-series’ powerful turbofan engines and the 20-series’ distinctive Longhorn wing. A pair of TFE 731-3A-2B engines power the Lear 55, providing 3,700 lbs of thrust apiece, while an increased wingspan and drag-reducing winglets offer improved aerodynamics compared with earlier Learjet designs, while also offering a standup cabin with 50% more volume than its predecessors. The Learjet 55 can fly at a maximum operating speed of Mach .81 with a high-speed cruise of 458 knots, and a flight ceiling of 51,000 ft.
