The Learjet 45 is a light business jet designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace. Known for its excellent performance, efficient design, and competitive operating costs, the Learjet 45 is a popular choice for both corporate operators and private owners. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Learjet 45 combines cutting-edge avionics, spacious cabin comfort, and exceptional speed to create a well-rounded, high-performing jet in the light jet category.
The Learjet 45 is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-20AR turbofan engines, each providing 3,500 pounds of thrust. These engines enable the aircraft to achieve a maximum cruise speed of 464 knots (534 mph) and a maximum range of approximately 1,971 nautical miles. This range makes it suitable for non-stop flights between cities such as New York and Dallas or Los Angeles and Chicago. Additionally, the aircraft’s climb rate and operational efficiency allow it to reach a cruising altitude of 51,000 feet quickly, flying above most weather and commercial air traffic.
The cabin of the Learjet 45 is designed with passenger comfort in mind, offering seating for up to 8 passengers in a double-club configuration. With a flat floor and a height of 4.9 feet, the cabin provides a functional space for business or leisure. Features include leather seating, fold-out tables, and ample baggage storage, making it ideal for both short and medium-haul flights. The aircraft also has a fully enclosed lavatory, a feature appreciated by travelers on longer journeys.
The avionics system in the Learjet 45 features the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, providing pilots with advanced navigation, communication, and weather management tools. The avionics suite includes dual flight management systems (FMS), enhanced autopilot functions, and a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS), contributing to both operational efficiency and safety. Many operators have upgraded the avionics for compliance with modern airspace requirements such as ADS-B.
As of Q2 2024, the list price of the Learjet 45 is $10,300,000.
