Inside The $10 Million Learjet 40XR

Inside The $10 Million Learjet 40XR Private Jet This is the Learjet 40XR, cut 2 feet off the Learjet 45's fuselage, throw out 2 passenger seats, drain 100 gallons of fuel and this is what you get: a bullet that is sexy, leggy, and fast. Unless you view this airplane through engineering and manufacturing lenses, it's easy to be skeptical about it. When the company was looking for a successor for the Learjet 31A, it saved a pile of money by essentially taking the Model 45 to the chop shop rather than developing a true "clean sheet of paper" airplane. The Learjet 40 shares the 45's engines, avionics, wing, cockpit, and fuselage cross-section, but it costs $2.5 million less. It's easy to see the marketing logic in this. After an extremely difficult gestation period, the 9-passenger (plus 2 pilots) Model 45 turned out to be a fine airplane and offered the market a unique value proposition: midsize-cabin capability and fast speed. When the company announced the 40 in 2002 as a shortened version of the Learjet 45, it already had a big body of knowledge on its key systems and performance, thanks to its experience with the 45. The XR variant came onto the scene in 2004, offering upgrades primarily in the realms of engine performance, weight capacity, and range, with the "XR" standing for "Extended Range," a testament to one of the model's most compelling features. The base purchase price for a new Learjet 40XR was $10 million before options, but today the price for a pre-owned model is between $2 million and $4 million, and the charter price is estimated at $4,000 to $6,000 per hour. While the annual fixed cost is roughly $400,000 to $600,000, the average hourly operating cost is estimated at $2,000 to $3,000. Here is everything you need to know about the Learjet 40XR.
