In 2002, Bombardier offered a smaller version of the Learjet 45, the model 40. The aircraft is designed for shorter hops with maximum Lear performance. The Learjet 40 features the same FADEC-equipped Allied Signal engines, all glass cockpit and systems as the Learjet 45, but with a slightly shorter fuselage. The Learjet 40 offers a 36% larger cabin and 35% more range than the Learjet 31 for only a 10% higher price. The 40 can fly with a full passenger load of seven and full fuel. With four passengers, it will travel from New York to Chicago in one hour and 35 minutes. |
