The Learjet 75 is the last in a line of the private jet brand designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace. However, Learjet as a current production model is now over. Still, the private jet that was synonymous with Hollywood in the 1960s and 1970s is plentiful in the on-demand charter market.
Founded in 1962 by Bill Lear, it has now been under the ownership of Bombardier since 1990. From celebrities of the day like Frank Sinatra to high-profile pilots like astronaut Neil Armstrong, the Learjet was once the flagship of private jets for decades.

Founded in 1962 by Bill Lear, it has now been under the ownership of Bombardier since 1990. From celebrities of the day like Frank Sinatra to high-profile pilots like astronaut Neil Armstrong, the Learjet was once the flagship of private jets for decades.
The Learjet 75 is an upgraded version of the Learjet 45 and, with a maximum takeoff weight of 21,500 pounds, is a midsize private jet. It was first introduced in 2012, featuring an advanced wing design, new engines, and enhanced avionics and systems.
The Learjet 75 is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-40BR turbofan engines, which provide improved fuel efficiency and performance. It’s also an extension of the Learjet 70.
According to Aviation International News, “The 70 and 75 are basically the same airplane, both powered by the 3,850-pound thrust Honeywell TFE731-40BR turbofan, but differing in cabin length and range/payload capability.”
The Learjet 75 can accommodate up to nine passengers with a fully enclosed lavatory in the rear. The Learjet Liberty is the same airplane with six seats and a slightly lower weight, dropping it into the light jet category.
AIN Online reports, “The Learjet 70’s cabin is 17 feet, 8 inches long, and seats up to seven passengers. The maximum range with four passengers and two pilots is 2,060 nm, and the maximum payload is 175 pounds greater than the Learjet 75’s at 2,285 pounds versus 2,110 pounds. Both have the same maximum takeoff weight (mtow) of 21,500 pounds and carry the same amount of fuel, 6,062 pounds. The Learjet 75’s cabin measures 19 feet, 10 inches, and the range is nearly the same at 2,040 nm, with a typically equipped capacity of up to nine passengers.”
It has a range of up to 2,040 nautical miles (2,346 miles) and a maximum cruise speed of 464 knots (534 mph).
The Learjet 75 was priced at $14.5 million new, with preowned models priced from $12 million.
