Bombardier Lear 55
About
The Lear 55 has a maximum speed of 541 mph at 30,000ft and has a cruise speed of 462mph at 49,000ft. Aircraft dimensions are: length of 55 ft 1 in, a wingspan of 44 ft 0 in, and a height of 14 ft 8 in, this makes it optimum for a crew of 2 pilots and 7 passengers. This model has seven variants: Learjet 55, Learjet 55B (a better take-off performance and a higher range), Learjet 55C (increase in stability), Learjet 55C/ER (extended-range).
Cabin
The stand-up cabin is the aircraft’s single biggest improvement. 50 percent more cabin volume than its predecessors is enjoyed in the 55. The dimensions measure 5.7 ft high, 5.9 ft wide and 13.7 ft long. Rather than adding more seating, engineers chose to enhance the cabin’s comfort and amenities. The cabin typically accommodates seven or eight passengers in a configuration familiar to Lears: a club arrangement with a side-facing bench and an additional aft seat. A high-density configuration can seat ten. Also featured are external and internal baggage compartments, a half-width lavatory and a small galley/refreshment center. The expansion is sure to be noticed by passengers.
Performance
The Lear 55 can fly at a maximum operating speed of mach .81. It is capable of a high-speed cruise of 458 knots, and a flight ceiling of 45,000 ft.
