Aircraft decision brief
Where the Learjet 40XR fits
Model overview
About the Learjet 40XR
The 40XR is the shorter-cabin member of the Learjet 40/45 family, powered by uprated TFE731-20BR engines. It combines rapid climb, a 51,000-foot ceiling and brisk cruise performance with a compact light-jet cabin.
Production transitioned to the Learjet 70 in 2013. The 40XR remains appealing for small groups that prioritize speed and ramp presence over cabin width or stand-up height.
