Learjet 40
The Bombardier Learjet 40 is a 2 -beam business aircraft in low-wing design of the Canadian company Bombardier.
Development
The first flight of the Learjet 40 ( a converted Learjet 45) took place on 31 August 2002. A digital avionics system with EFIS Honeywell ( Primus 1000), and a digital control ( FADEC) of the engines are fitted as standard. The aircraft has a two - man cockpit and a cabin for up to 7 passengers who are accommodated in the seat assembly 1 1. The wings have a sweep angle of 13.4 °. Delivery of the first production aircraft was in the first quarter of 2004.
This type is based on the Learjet 45, but the guy was specifically tailored to the requirements of the operators of light jet aircraft. Goals, such as reducing the procurement and the direct operating costs were implemented. For this purpose, the space travelers were improved and installed an acceptable toilet. Particularly interesting is the combination of long range and high speed. Compared with the Learjet 31A, there is a 30 percent larger cabin and 30 percent more coverage for a higher price of only 10 percent.
The current version ( the Learjet 40 XR) has improved engines ( TFE 731-20 BR ), a better climb and an enlarged to 3378 km range. Optional 3687 km range are possible with larger tanks. As avionics including a Honeywell Primus 1000 four -tube EFIS, Engine Instrument / Crew Alerting System ( EICAS ), Honeywell Primus 660 Weather Radar, Dual Primus II nav / comm system, Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS 2000), Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning system ( EGPWS ) with windshear alert, Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT ) and a Flight Management System (FMS ) is used. 2012 Bombardier introduced the successor models of the Learjet 40XR and 45XR Learjet 70 and 75 as before.
