Learjet 85 Specifications
Performance
With a maximum range of approximately 3,000 nautical miles and a top operating speed of Mach 0.82, the Learjet 85 is designed for coast-to-coast, transcontinental, and selected international missions. Its 49,000 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 85 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307B turbofan engines, each rated at approximately 6,100 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 33,000 lbs, the Learjet 85 offers a high payload-to-range ratio.
