The Westwind II can travel up to a range of up to 2,400 nautical miles or 4,445 kilometers. With that range, the Westwind would be a great choice for leaders on the go.

The same type of engine can be found on jets like the Lear 36, Falcon 900 and Hawker 800. The aerodynamic design of its fuselage and unique wing design allows the aircraft to optimize the power produced by these engines.
