LEARJET WORLD

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] me [Music] good for over 10 years learjet has manufactured the world's most popular and successful business jet more than 400 learjets have been produced one-fourth of the world's corporate jet aircraft and every day they are flying more hours covering more miles than any other business jet they are the true workhorses of the fleet [Music] what is the key to this position of leadership it is the learjet's unmatched economy performance ratio the learjet can carry bigger loads faster and farther at less cost per mile than any other business jet and most turbo crops yet its thrust to weight ratio is the highest of any business jet providing shorter takeoffs quicker climbs to altitude better single engine performance and a greater margin of safety its two ge cj 610-6 engines supplying 2950 pounds of thrust each provide climb performance exceeding 6 000 feet per minute at takeoff gross weight minimizing passenger time and rough air it cruises at mach .81 534 miles per hour at 41 000 feet way up in the sunshine of learjet country above the weather where it's smooth comfortable and economical and for additional range the learjet has the performance reserved to fly even higher up to 45 000 feet its maximum certified altitude [Music] this unexcelled learjet performance is available in three current models each with its own unique capability the 24d is the most economical version with outstanding performance his 13 500 pound takeoff gross weight gives us the highest thrust to weight ratio of any business jet providing exceptional short field capability it carries six passengers in luxurious comfort for a direct operating cost of only 37 cents per mile and its acquisition cost is the lowest of any business aircraft providing true jet performance [Music] the 25b is a combination of traditional learjet performance and large cabin comfort his fuel capacity permits flights of 1725 miles with eight passengers plus baggage at a direct operating cost of only 38 cents per mile yet its acquisition cost is only slightly above the 24 d the 25c combines learjet performance with long range capability it will carry four passengers in stretched out comfort and has a range of more than 2 300 miles yet its direct operating cost is as little as 38 cents per mile [Music] [Applause] the 24d the 25b [Music] the 25c three learjets each with their own unique capabilities to satisfy different customer requirements and learjet performance in all three versions contributes unique versatility for many applications high speed and low operating costs have made the learjet the leading charter aircraft around the world because it pays its way passengers like the aircraft because it's comfortable and fast [Music] charter operators like it because they can profitably charge rates up to 50 percent less than competitive jet aircraft [Music] and many corporations not only reduce their operating costs but make a profit by per-trip leasing to neighboring firms [Music] the learjet's unmatched reliability and economy of operation make it an ideal vehicle for the transportation of male and high priority freight the 24 carries up to 3 000 pounds in its 197 cubic foot cargo configuration meeting schedules impossible to perform with turbo crops at direct operating costs as low as or lower than any other business jet the 25b modified with a rear cargo hatch and an emergency exit over the co-pilot seat has a capacity of 300 cubic feet and carries up to two tons yet in less than 40 minutes it can be converted back to its passenger configuration [Music] as an aerial ambulance the learjet's wide door allows the loading of patients without tilting them or transferring them to another stretcher [Music] [Laughter] [Music] while its high rate of climb fast cruising speed and ability to fly above rough weather provide the patient with a safer smoother more comfortable flight the learjet's high altitude capability speed and economy make it ideal for photogrammetry either using a modified door containing an optical window adaptable to all standard aerial cameras or the integral dual camera installation with two optical windows looking down through the fuselage [Music] [Music] so the largest exceptional high altitude capability is utilized by the national aeronautics and space administration as an experimental platform for infrared scanning flying at altitudes up to 50 thousand feet [Music] [Music] and learjet versatility is constantly improving as modifications are certified for even better performance thrust reversers to shorten landing roll out saving brakes and tires the drag chute to add an extra margin of safety the 24 inch executive door adding 12 inches of space to cabin comfort allowing a greater variety of interior arrangements [Music] versatility luxurious comfort unparalleled economy of operation exceptionally low maintenance costs and true jet performance provided by the more than 400 learjets with over 10 years of proven reliability [Music] based on this record learjet now introduces a new generation of advanced technology aircraft the learjet 35 transcontinental and the learjet 36 intercontinental [Music] engineered with the same skill and ability built with the same pride and craftsmanship tested with the same care and thoroughness the series 35 and 36 present a new dimension to the learjet family it's a big aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of seventeen thousand pounds a wingspan four feet wider a fuselage over a foot longer to provide a larger cabin a more roomy cockpit a private lavatory it's a different aircraft with two garrett air research tfe 731-2 turbofan engines each providing 3 500 pounds of thrust it's a quiet aircraft conforming to the anti-noise requirements of far-36 an environmental aircraft with low emission of air pollutants it's a professional aircraft certified under far-25 constructed as ruggedly as a commercial airliner it's a high-performance aircraft with a rate of climb of one hundred fifty feet per minute a no step climb to altitudes above 41 000 feet and certification to 45 000 feet [Music] it's a fast aircraft capable of cruising at mach .83 up to 550 miles per hour and it is the first truly long range economical business jet capable of spanning the three great distances necessary for worldwide corporate aircraft utilization transcontinental transatlantic and trans-pacific to hawaii the 35 has a range of 3024 miles it can carry eight passengers and their luggage from new york to san francisco or from san francisco to hawaii against headwinds with full reserves [Music] the 36 intercontinental has an unprecedented range of over four thousand miles and you select your own reserves [Music] it can fly across the north atlantic against headwinds with full reserves it can fly from point barrow to prestwick from houston to lima from dakar to rio from luanda to sal from mauritius to cocos island from bangkok to tokyo from tokyo to kodiak now for the first time a business jet combines true intercontinental capability with economy designed for maximum flexibility the 3536 not only offers unprecedented range but by reducing the takeoff weight provides an unequaled balanced field length range capability [Music] because flight durations will be longer leerjet has designed the interior for complete passenger comfort the fuselage is 13 and a quarter inches longer and the 24 inch executive door enhances cabin utility there's more legroom a forward compartment for carry-on luggage in addition to the rear storage area a private lavatory with a flush toilet a wash basin with hot and cold water a mirror and easy in-flight access to carry on luggage the new overhead panel provides individual reading lights and air outlets double windows reduce cabin noise and minimize window frosting the cockpit is the most advanced of any business jet with three inches more legroom and folding seats for ease of entry there is a totally new pilot designed and oriented instrument panel with a highly functional grouping of instruments and capability to accommodate dual 5-inch flight directors there is integral lighting a new glare shield containing controls for the autopilot and fully accessible start switches the simplified throttle quadrant contains airliner size thrust levers the emergency brake handle and drag chute release the center console has been designed to accommodate supporting communications and navigation aids including installation of area navigation or inertial navigation systems the circuit breaker panels have electroluminescent lighting and are stepped for full visibility and access coded for ac dc and divided between pilot and copilot functions the control system incorporates airliner type spoiler ons for positive low speed control and the series 3536 is the most thoroughly tested learjet ever produced its eight spar wing withstood three times the maximum loads expected in flight it has been tested to ensure safe takeoffs to minimize drag to obtain data throughout the entire flight envelope as additions to the present learjet family the transcontinental 35 and intercontinental 36 offer significant advances in engine performance range cockpit conveniences and passenger comfort they offer greater owner benefits at lower cost than any other business jet with maximum performance at low cost with medium range and large cabin comfort with long range and four passenger capability with maximum flexibility and transcontinental range and
