2008 Learjet 60XR

The Bombardier Lear 60XR was manufactured between 2007 and 2013. 60XR’s will currently cost between $2.7m to $4.5m. A model built between 2007 and 2009 can be found for approximately $3.0m, while a newer model is typically in the $3.5m to $4.2m range. Prices of pre-owned aircraft will vary according to age, use, maintenance, records, and the level of upkeep.

Cabin

The redesigned cabin is where this airplane really shines. Changes include more curvaceous cabinetry, single-seat structure, and upholstery, a cleaner looking headliner with recessed air gaspers, LED lighting, more illuminating window surrounds and a redesigned lavatory with a larger vanity cabinet. Three basic floor plans include a seven- and eight-seat floor plans with the larger galley and an optional three-place forward or aft divan. The new galley is the cabin's most impressive monument and it has been relocated to the left side of the cabin next to the passenger door. This positioning conveys a more spacious atmosphere and accentuates the cabin lines, creating a lengthier appearance. It also provides a noise buffer between most of the passengers and the cabin door, which has an improved seal. The unconventional galley tower houses hot-liquid containers and glassware and provides 6.5 more inches of workspace with natural lighting via an over-the-counter window.

Performance

The 60XR can climb to 41,000 feet in as little as eighteen minutes at gross weight and then cruise at 446 knots. Power to achieve this amazing performance comes from two PW305A engines each offering 4,600 pounds of thrust and using only 204 gallons per hour. The 60XR flight envelope extends up to 51,000 feet. The cabin is rated to 9.8 psi, allowing the 60XR to maintain a sea level cabin at 22,000 feet. Maximum range (while traveling at .78 Mach with four passengers and two crew members) is 2,300 miles.
