A pioneer in the aerospace industry, Learjet Inc. designed and built high-performance business jets. This luxury aircraft was launched under William Lear’s vision based on the Swiss P-16. The company has produced more than 3000 aircraft at its Wichita, Kansas plant since its first jet rolled off the assembly line in 1964. The record setting, light business aircraft tout superior cruise velocities, the highest operating ceilings, ascent rates and operating maximums. Bombardier produced the final Learjet, a Learjet 75, in 2022.
