Lear 60 Ownership Overview
Since receiving certification in 1993, the Learjet 60 has made an impression on the market, as nearly 320 were made upon closure of the line in 2007. Buyers looking into a modest sized economical business jet with the quality of flight the Learjet family brings to the table, while not relinquishing size of the cabin, will find promise as they come across a Lear 60 for sale.
Lear 60 Cabin Experience
The Lear 60 is capable of transporting a maximum of 7 passengers and 2 crew members. The aircraft includes a lavatory at the aft end of the nearly 60ft long fuselage, inside the nearly 20ft long cabin.
Total cabin space is nearly 450 cubic feet, providing a width of nearly 6ft and a height of the same. Each passenger typically receives more than 35 cubic feet of space. The entry door is just over 5ft tall and baggage receives nearly 50 cubic feet of space broken up equally into an internal and external storage unit.
Lear 60 Mission Profile
Customers who buy a Lear 60 are focused on a cheaper alternative, without giving up cabin space. The powerful engines allow this aircraft to fly further than its predecessors. This aircraft was crafted from the Lear 55 and its most notable improvements are the aerodynamics which aid in its increased efficiency level.
The improvements to the wings were derived from a Swiss military aircraft, which proves the durability and capability of the Lear 60 in-flight. It should be noted that the Lear 60 is highlighted for its fast rate of clime and equally fast cruise performance. This aircraft is able to perform at high marks, due to its rate of climb, speed capability, and fuel consumption, which in the end saves the buyer money.
