Built by one of the most trusted names in aviation, the Learjet 85XR is out to make a name for itself. This jet has been designed from scratch thus blazing a trail of its own. It was designed and manufactured to have an all-composite structure which makes it stronger than other jets in its class. The durability of the 85XR is also well matched by its efficiency and luxurious cabin.
A good look inside the Learjet 85XR would show you one of the most appealing cabins in its class. The spacious cabin can comfortably seat eight passengers with plenty of legroom to spare. Also, the aisle is wide enough to make navigating around the plane easy. Much attention also went to the details including creating a functional and very stylish lavatory. The luxurious and comfortable cabin is also designed to emphasize the beauty of its overall design with noise canceling panels around the cabin not letting any sound from the engine or the outside interfere with the relaxed atmosphere inside.
The design process for the Learjet 85XR involved extensively using wind tunnel testing to cut down the drag coefficient in just about every inch of the plane’s surface. The result is one sleek looking jet with the power to propel it to speeds of up to Mach 0.82. The nose and canopy for example of the Learjet 85XR has been designed to eliminate shockwaves near the canopy which makes the jet more efficient and give the flight crew a quieter cockpit.
