Bombardier's Learjet 85 is redefining the midsize market segment by introducing their first-ever all-composite structure. The new material significantly enhances both performance and passenger comfort by allowing greater cabin capacity and reduced drag.
Outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, reduced maintenance, and extended service life are but a few advantages of the all-composite airframe. Carbon fibre has also been proven to offer superior aerodynamics due to its smoothness. The clean-sheet Learjet 85 is expected to hit a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.82, and a transcontinental range of up to 5,556 km, allowing long trips from New York to London and London to Moscow.
"The Learjet 85 aircraft's cabin features more volume and comfort than any exisiting midsize," says Steve Ridolfi, president of Bombardier Business Aircraft. The jet's 19-cubic metre cabin carries eight passengers, with plenty of space for standing or sleeping. Learjet 85's 180 cm high ceiling affords ample headroom when walking, and all eight seats are fully berthable, allowing for natural, recumbent resting positions.
