Learjet 60 Specifications
Performance
With a maximum range of approximately 2,405 nautical miles and a top operating speed of Mach 0.81, the Learjet 60 is designed for regional, coast-to-coast, and high-utilization corporate missions. Its 51,000 ft service ceiling, published runway performance, and mature support ecosystem make it a relevant aircraft for buyers evaluating capability, acquisition cost, and mission fit.
Powerplant
The Learjet 60 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A turbofan engines, each rated at approximately 4,600 pounds of thrust. This powerplant pairing defines much of the aircraft's climb, cruise, maintenance, and operating-cost profile, especially for legacy operators comparing engine programs and inspection status.
Operating Weights
Operating weights dictate the structural limits and mission profile of the aircraft. With an MTOW of 23,500 lbs, the Learjet 60 offers a high payload-to-range ratio.
