A Denver based subsidiary Gates Aviation, was already a major Lear Jet distributor so they already knew a lot about airplanes and specifically the Learjet. A pre-owned Lear 70/75 fetches between $5.50 million and $9.25 million. Just when I thought I had it all together and had a plan of action to get this review done by Christmas, along comes Black Friday week, then Cyber Monday and then all those extended deadlines. hmm. The brake system incorporates four power-boosted disc-type brakes with integral anti-skid system. At idle on the ground a 20 series learjet will burn something like 150 +or- us gallons per hour. Photos: Original Model 23 (at Smithsonian) on left, yet to be built Model 85 on right. These two important reasons are near the top of the priority list, but the fact that most everyone was convinced that taming the noise levels of this military adapted gas guzzling high performance turbojet engine was going to be near impossible. This is not a problem in the real world cockpit but is a pain in most desktop simulator models. Embraer is the latest manufacturer entering the business jet market with the Phenom and Legacy lines of business jets. Hopefully Flysimware will tweak this accordingly. ( If you happen to be overtaken at normal cruise, which could be at 51,000 feet, it will be one of the Gulfstreams or a Citation X or another Learjet. The fuel inefficiency, the limited range, and the airport noise problem. A jet pump installed in each tip tank transfers fuel into the wing tanks. They even had the engine model numbers and thrust level properly identified. So, in summary, it appears that Gates was going down a path of basically adding two new engines and whatever electrical, mechanical, hydraulics-wise and otherwise was required to make them work on an existing well developed airplane to move from turbojet engines to fanjet engines. Neither was long range endurance it was pure speed and the ability to get over the weather that moved corporate aviation to the jets. I get frustrated with the older autopilots but they usually do what they were designed to do. You can find that post in the screenshot forum. At this speed, the Learjet 25 glides approximately 26 nautical miles for each 10000 feet of altitude loss. Thanks to its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines, the Learjet 60 has a total thrust output of 9,200 lbs. Raisbeck Engineering has made a business of designing and marketing improvement to a large range of corporate aircraft. Intersting. This Century III modification formed a constant radius curve that significantly lowered the stall speed of the Lear 25D but just as important, it cut the rotation speed by 14 knots and shortened the takeoff runway requirement by more than a 1,000 feet. Learjet Model 35/36 677 total built (including 80 USAF C-21A), Learjet Model 60 323 + built (in production, Learjet Model 45 300 + built (in production), Learjet Model 40 90 + built (in production), Learjet Model 70/75 75 total built (in production). The airplane was destroyed on the ground. Finally, the Xtreme Prototypes Classic GLJ Model 25 SE. ), Please tell us: 1,000 nm fuel burn for the Model 25D is 3,920 pounds, compared to 2,530 pounds for the Model 35/36, and 2,480 for the Model 31A. Heck, if Learjet can do it, why cant we. The stall warning system utilizes a stall warning vane on each side of the nose. Over pressurization is prevented by a pressure relief valve which opens at 1700 psi. How about time to climb to 15,000 meters (just shy of 51,000 feet) in 12 minutes, 27 seconds? Hopefully Flysimware will tweak this accordingly. If the red disc is ruptured, either or both the containers have been discharged overboard as a result of an overheat condition causing excessive pressure within the containers. I am getting a little lazy in my old age so I am going to paste the GE engine history here in lieu of typing it from scratch. Fuel Burn Data. 2023 MOTORSPORT NETWORK. A pre-charged accumulator dampens and absorbs pressure surges. In terms of cost, the Learjet 45XR has an estimated hourly charter price of $4,000. This mode is suitable for straight taxi, takeoff and gentle turns. XPs GLJ 25 was inspired, according to the manual, by the Model 25D with a few real world options added, such as the Dee Howard thrust reversers, Century III wing with SoftFlite Boundary Layers and some more recent additions such as the availability to add some of our 3rd party avionics to the VC panel such as the popular Flight1 GTN 650/750 combo or one of the newer weather radars. Just about any gauge can be added to this area with a little adjustment to the height and width of the gauge to fit the area available. Additionally, the Learjet 45XR has an average hourly fuel burn of 204 Gallons per Hour (GPH). Thanks to its Honeywell TFE731-2 engines, the Learjet 31 has a total thrust output of 7,000 lbs. And, of course, the TFE 731 meets FAR 36 noise requirements and is a much cleaner running powerplant than the GE was. The panel has been cleaned up, regrouped and made somewhat prettier. COPYRIGHT 1973, THE McGRAW-HILL COMPANIES, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Founder of AVSIM Online. [2], Two General Electric CJ610-6 single-rotor axial-flow turbojet engines are pylon-mounted on the aft fuselage. A 25 will burn more fuel, of course, but that's only part of the equation. Thanks for the info..that was a great help? To overcome the problem, they added 13 inches to the fuselage ahead of the wings leading edge. Not only the F1 GTN but you can also have your working REX/Milviz Advantage weather radar. I did manage to only buy one pair of shoes, one add-on aircraft, and commit to only three more reviews. Ouch. Production of the Learjet 24 began in 1966 and continued through 1977, with a total of 259 aircraft built. When all was said and done, this New Version of the Learjet 25 was none other than the Model 35 which first flew more than 4 years later on August 22, 1973 but, not certified for almost another year in July, 1974. If you can't afford a used PC-12 you can't afford a flight department to run it. One big problem it would not solve is the headroom and elbow room. WebEvery Lear that comes out of the factory is equipped to fly itself. Let's not even talk about the cost in maintenance on a 30 year old plane. Here is a recent price break down from Business and Corporate Aviation magazine. Logically laid out, with tons of high resolution, close up screenshots with lots of bullets, detailed descriptions of every bit and piece of the aircraft, charts, tables, checklists, procedures, illustrations, references, known issues, and so much more. As the wheel rotation speed accelerates to normal tolerance limits, normal braking pressure is restored. The autopilot head unit is mounted on the lower center console immediately below the Fuel Control Panel. The Learjet 24 had several variants, designated by letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. Updates to the jet's design included a re-contoured leading edge to improve cruise performance, as well as higher ceiling capabilities of 51,000 feet and reduced runway length of The aircraft is equipped with AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) electrical systems. Some were very popular and others were just bad timing or too expensive to justify. I have a fast PC with a 970 video card, I should have bought a 980, but didnt. WebBombardier Learjet 25C M25C Civil 15,000 Fuel Burn (lbs) 980 1400 2150 2840 3630 5000 Bombardier Learjet 25D M25D Civil 15,000 Fuel Burn (lbs) 970 1410 2210 3020 3910 Bombardier Learjet 31 M31 Civil 15,500 Fuel Burn (lbs) 570 840 1330 1860 2380 3120 They are practically identical to the engines in the supersonic T-38A Air Force jet that the Thunderbirds flew for years, except the civilian version does not have the afterburner. Engine bleed air is admitted through a flow control valve to a heat exchanger. This one got interrupted a couple of times and I feel guilty that it took me so long to finally complete the review. Mr. Gates took over as President and COO of Lear Jet and Bill Lear stayed on for a year or so as Chairman but wasnt involved in the Lear Jet project or day to day operations. The first Model 25 flew on August 12, 1966, and the first delivery was in November 1967.[1]. You need to factor in that at today's fuel price, you can pay anywhere from $3.75 to 8.50 per gallon of Jet A. A tank cross-flow valve is installed to prevent fuel transfer between wing tanks. The 30 series have much more fuel efficient engines, not to mention quieter. WebBombardier Learjet 25C M25C Civil 15,000 Fuel Burn (lbs) 980 1400 2150 2840 3630 5000 Bombardier Learjet 25D M25D Civil 15,000 Fuel Burn (lbs) 970 1410 2210 3020 3910 Bombardier Learjet 31 M31 Civil 15,500 Fuel Burn (lbs) 570 840 1330 1860 2380 3120 Plus, the first jets, straight jets, ate fuel like it was going out of style, and they had quite a restricted range, This is not exactly what Bill Lear was telling his potential customers at the time, but was obvious to the new Gates team that had to pick up the pieces and move forward. The 35 has a bench-style rear seat that will accommodate two wide bodies, or 3 very thin ones on short trips, four forward facing chairs and a side-facing potty/jump seat opposite the door. The Model 31A /ER was the long range version which added an additional 275 miles to the range. Selected information from the www.Xtremeprototypes.com website. The AirNav price of Jet A fuel is currently somewhere between a low of $1.99/gal and a high of $9.00/gal with an average of 3,682 FBOs nationwide of $4.11/gal. I took it one step further for my personal flying and in effect made an XR version for a little Extra Range. An angle-of-attack indicator translates signals from the stall warning system into visual indications of the aircraft angle-of-attack and allows the crew to monitor the proximity of stall caution zone. It's got autopilots that will do everything but put sugar in your coffee. AC current is provided by two 1000 Volt-Amperes (VA) solid-state inverters. Other than being thoroughly modern, one of the most requested features for FSX/P3D add ons nowadays is included the ability to place your Flight1 GTN 650/750 combo in the HD VC panel. Many Learjet 25 aircraft remain in regular use today, particularly in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. They put out 18.6 percent more thrust at sea level than the GE CJ610s used on the Model 25, and nine percent more thrust at 40,000 feet. WebEvery Lear that comes out of the factory is equipped to fly itself. As strong as that 8 spar wing might be, when you put more than a ton of weight on the wingtips and then land a little hard with a 7 ton airplane moving at 120 knots or so, something is most likely going to break and when it does it is very flammable. This is really my only disappointment in the cockpit. A side benefit was the thicker wing section adds 15 square feet of wing area and allows for 81 more gallons of fuel. The real world procedures are much easier than the simulated ones mostly due to the AP switches mounted on the control wheels in the real airplane not being accessible in our flight simulator add on. To complete the design efforts that started with the somewhat simplified plan of upgrading the Model 25 with newer fuel efficient and quieter engines with a little more thrust turned into a longer, wider, more powerful new model with much improved low speed handling while retaining excellent cruise speeds at the highest flight levels allowed. The Bombardier Learjet 60 can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. Back in the real early days, fuel efficiency wasnt a big concern mainly because jet fuel only cost 18 20 cents a gallon. However, it has been often at the cost of fuel efficiency. Oops. The landing gear, brake, flap and spoiler systems are hydraulically operated. Any Learjet 25s that have not been modified by installing noise compliant engines or "hushkits" will not be permitted to fly in the contiguous 48 states after December 31, 2015. The Gates team was concentrating on designs to replace these General Electric turbojet engines with the much more fuel efficient Honeywell turbofan engines and designing new supercritical wings with winglets rather than wingtip fuel tanks. The pitch would be to corporate American and the world that the new Learjet was a safe and efficient means of doing business. The largest seller is the Model 25, but more 35s were sold in the past six years. We all know the LearJet has gone through several iterations by 3 primary aircraft companies. - Send us pictures of your plane. This is a very handy feature. These numbers were soon eclipsed by Cessna and their Citation line of business jets. The nose gear doors operate mechanically with linkages attached to the nose gear shock strut. Hopefully Flysimware will tweak this accordingly. This one breaks new ground in advancement and efficiency because it is an all new design specifically intended for new high end PCs using the most up-to-date version of FSX:SE and Lockheed Martins P3D v2-3. At idle on the ground a 20 series learjet will burn something like 150 +or- us gallons per hour. This GLJ-25 SE should easily cruise at FL510 at ~450 kts with half fuel and 4 passengers. These are intended for training real world pilots and is a free download until the link is removed or broken. 47 Enough of the background and similar Learjets, let look at the Learjet 25D that inspired the Xtreme Prototypes design team. The oxygen storage cylinder has a capacity of 38 cubic feet and is stored at 1800 psi. So effective is this thicker wing cuff that the 25G can cruise at 0.81 Mach on the same fuel flow as the 25D cruising at 0.78 Mach. The XP GLJ-25SE does not identify the AP model number anyplace in the manual, but it is a probably model as a J.E.T. There are several extra lights and switches throughout the cockpit and cabin. Due to the many buyouts, mergers and takeovers, Garrett engines may be referred using the original name Garrett AiResearch, or AlliedSignal, or Honeywell. Oxygen is always available for the crew and can be made available to the passengers manually or automatically. The inboard doors are hydraulically operated while the outboard doors are mechanically operated by linkage connected to the main gear struts. This is an FSX limitation, no Ramp Weight field. Sure, there were some additional company names involved, but we can narrow it down to Bill Lears Lear Jet, Charlie Gates Learjet, and Bombardiers Learjet designs. http://www.avsim.com/index.php/_/reviews/aircraft/review-learjet-24b-by-lionheart-creations-ltd-r2543, http://www.avsim.com/index.php/_/reviews/aircraft/review-a-comparison-of-2-jets-r2567. Fuelburn: 149.0 GPH The Learjet 25 cabin is pressurized to enable high altitude operations without the use of supplemental oxygen. It will also cost less to buy, and you won't have to pay MSP, but you will have to assume it will have only minimal residual value. Wow. ) During ground operations, a solenoid limits the pressure differential to 0.25 psi in order to ensure normal functioning of the door and emergency exit. The engine compressor inlet and turbine discharge pressures are sensed by the EPR transmitter and transformed into an electrical signal that is transmitted to the EPR indicator. It's got autopilots that will do everything but put sugar in your coffee. On aircraft equipped with an auxiliary hydraulic pump, the hydraulic pump switch located at the lower centre of the instrument panel activates the auxiliary hydraulic pump to provide in-flight standby hydraulic pressure. Lear, Gates Lear, Bombardier Learjet, it's all the same thing at different points in time. There was never a 25E model, but there was a 25F that was grouped in with the 25D production numbers. Good luck. Click here for more information and to see all donations year to date. The cabin temperature is controlled by regulating the temperature of the pressure bleed air that is routed through the cabin. These boundary layer energizers are small spanwise ridges on the upper wing surface just ahead of the aileron. On aircraft equipped with variable authority steering, the steering authority varies with ground speed. Two 24 Volt batteries provide standby power for the DC system and are used for engine starting. Alain Rouleau at Xtreme Prototypes is known for his excellent flight manuals and this one ranks right up there at the top of this list. But they consume 40 percent less fuel at takeoff thrust and 24 percent less at cruise. Being an optimist and knowing the Xtreme Prototypes design team, both of them, love their work and their products, just might be receptive to making this addition. The big news is that the decreased fuel consumption increases the range of the airplanes about 40 percent. Near the back of the flight manual is a full page Limitations with all the V speeds and Placard speeds. The fuel flow through a rotor-turbine at each engine causes the rotor to spin and a pickup coil emits pulses as the rotor blades pass through the coil field. So, if the normal econ cruise is supposed to be M0.77-M0.78, the fuel burn modeled is definitely too high. With this setup I can use standard weights of 170 lb men and 120 lb women and carry a small amount of baggage with full fuel and be slightly under Max Ramp Weight of 15,300. The 51,000 feet altitude Certification was added for all 25D/F models, although the specs are a little vague in the XO manual. You can only carry so much fuel and still have room for a few passengers. Any changes are a little more difficult until you fully understand the logic and procedure. The Bombardier Learjet 45XR can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. The problem it creates for me is that I have so many similar Learjets that after a while many of the systems seem to run together and I start confusing one with another. Parts are actually less of an issue with a 25 than you might think, because so many have been scrapped that you can usually find used parts. Intersting. The H-valve position can be adjusted by the crew to increase or reduce the amount of bleed air cooling at the heat exchanger. The lower console is now wider, not double wide, but somewhat wider. So why are we talking about the Model 35/36 in a review of the Model 25D? For some reason, this XP GLJ 25D SE has all the switches and lights but does not have the system coded. It took a year or more to realize they really needed an updated Model 35A and an extended range Model 36A. It's easy! They already knew how to build jets that would fly faster and higher than the competition, now they needed to increase the number of seats, expand the cabin width and height, add some small things like toilets and food service, and extend the endurance with larger and more efficient engines. Most charge anywhere from $1200 to $1800 and hour for these birds. This is a review of the recently introduced Xtreme Prototypes Classic GLJ Model 25 Special Edition aircraft add on for FSX and P3D. This doesnt raise the cruise speed Mach limits but does provide a greater safety margin in turbulence or when maneuvering at high speeds. The Learjet 24 had several variants, designated by letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. The Learjet 24 had several variants, designated by letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. The original tips were aligned with the longitudinal axis. 1. Of course, I always reserve the right to refuse but should I take the add on, I always do my best to provide a fair and balanced review. On May 17, 2017, a Learjet 25B registration XA-VMC operated by the company Aerotransportes Huitzilin S. A. de C. V. crashed at 3:26p.m. local time shortly after taking off from Toluca International Airport, Mexico bound for Durango. Nose wheel steering is electrically controlled via the rudder pedals. Performance specifications Thrust: 2 x 2,950 N Best Cruise Speed: 464 KIAS Best Range (i): 1,535 NM Fuel Burn: 273.2 GPH Stall Speed: 91 KIAS Rate of climb: 6,050 FPM Ceiling: 45,000 FT Takeoff distance: 5,186 FT Landing distance: 2,703 FT Weights Gross Weight: 15,000 LBS Empty Weight: 7,640 The crew seats now have three inches more fore and aft travel. This combination makes the 35 and 36 much less costly to operate than a 25B or C and it will give them one of the best single engine angles of climb of any of the jets. It is not perfect but any glitches or limitations are prominently discussed in the 160 page Flying Manual with suggestions for workarounds and hints on how to avoid any limitations of the simulators. A check valve prevents reverse flow between the containers. At 6000 feet elevation, 50 degrees Fahrenheit and with an average load of 5 passengers, the Learjet 25B will require approximately 8000 feet of runway. 124.2 The vortex generators, those rows of little metal tabs, and small fences were replaced with newly designed cuffs for the wingtip fins and Boundary Layer Energizers, BLEs. Not much, but . Overall, this is one of the most detailed and complete add ons that I have in my virtual hangar. Actually Bill Lear himself summed it up nicely. Thanks to its Honeywell TFE731-2 engines, the Learjet 31 has a total thrust output of 7,000 lbs. Monobromotrifluoromethane (CF3BR) is used as extinguishing agent. A new cuff was designed to accelerate the air movement in this area that smoothed the flow between the engine nacelle and the wings trailing edge. The hydraulically retractable landing gear is of conventional tricycle configuration with air-hydraulic shock-type nose and main gear. Has anyone heard of Learjet proposing to make a new lear? Both look like Learjets. When the aircraft speed is 7% above stall, the stall warning energizes a control column shaker that produces a low-frequency buffet signal through the control column to warn the crew. Best Range (i): 1,590 NM Fuel Burn: 256.0 GPH Stall Speed: 90 KIAS Rate of climb: 6,900 FPM Ceiling: 45,000 FT Takeoff distance: 3,393 FT Landing distance: 3,310 FT Weights Gross Weight: 12,499 LBS Empty Weight: 6,150 LBS Fuel capacity: 834 GAL Ownership Costs 1965 Total Cost of Ownership: Register For Free Total Fixed Cost A 25 will burn more fuel, of course, but that's only part of the equation. They also make good use of tooltips that a useful description of the selected device, not just what it is. The indicator face is divided into green (safe), yellow (caution) and red (danger) segments. It is our mission to be the go to leaders in the aviation industry. I decided on an Empty Weight of 7,168 pounds and a total fuel capacity of 1,055 gallons. Fair enough. The Model 25G received a thicker wing section where the wing joins the fuselage. With practically identical cabins and cockpits, a million dollars would buy a lot of jet fuel or a lot of extra goodies for the panel. This frequency is compared to a normal deceleration curve and if it deviates it activates a small torque motor in the affected wheel control valve which shunts braking pressure to the return line by means of a spool valve. WebThe Learjet 25D is powered by General Electric CJ610-8A engines with 2,850 pounds of thrust. No extra charges for P3D. Oxygen is contained in a pressurized bottle located in the dorsal fin of the aircraft. By 2018, 1970s Learjet 25s were sold for under $200,000. The add-on AP looks identical to the rea world version and probably works the same with the exception of those features that are not coded Roll Turn Knob and Pitch Command Wheel. Two motor-driven shutoff valves will stop hydraulic flow to the engine-driven pumps in case of an emergency. In 2013, the FAA modified 14 CFR part 91 rules to prohibit the operation of jets weighing 75,000 pounds or less that are not stage 3 noise compliant after December 31, 2015. Nose wheel steering is electronically controlled by the rudder pedals, utilizing the synchro principle. I use the following for my personal flying in the flight sims. So, because the 35 and 36 are 2,000 pounds heavier than the 25, wing area had to be added to match the 25s performance. This Century III wing enhancement was introduced by Gates in 1976 for the new Model 35, but we also got the benefit because the Model 25D was a concurrent production airplane in the late 1970s. The aircraft's high rate of climb enables it to pass congested flight levels quickly. Parts for the 25 series are becoming some what of a problem, as 35 series is a much better aircraft in regards to operating costs. Tips and recommended settings for beginners are included but so the seasoned pilots that want to get up and flying quickly Alain has included a separate 2-page Quick Start. WebCertified to the stricter FAR Part 25, the $13.8 million Learjet 75 competes with the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Citation CJ4, beating them in cabin volume, with 364 cu ft (10.3 m 3) against 327 and 295 cu ft (9.3 Fuel burn at high-speed cruise: 1,079 lb/h (489 kg/h) at 451 kn TAS at FL470 The average price of the Learjet 25D is not currently available. There are so many flying around on medical runs, express cargo services etcI often wonder how much profit they compaines make on each flightI heard they charge big bucks the 20 series learjets are cheap to aquire but the fuel bill is a different story. Both are powered by aft-fuselage-mounted, twin Honeywell TFE731-40BR turbofans, with a top speed of an impressive 535 mph (465 knots) and an average fuel burn of just under 200 gallons per hour. It is simple enough to modify the fuel capacity for a fuel tank and it is easy enough to modify the Empty Weight of the aircraft. The drag chute has been deployed in a crosswind of up to 20 knots under actual test conditions. The Lear loves to be at FL400. Sign up for a new account in our community. What is missing in the Manual? Some of this research was done for the Lionheart LR24B review and the follow-on comparison of the Learjet 24B to the T-38. Enough of the background and similar Learjets, let look at the Learjet 25D that inspired the Xtreme Prototypes design team. The Bombardier Learjet 31 can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. Say on a 1 hour flight. The refrigeration system consists of a compressor, receiver dehydrator and evaporative cooler located above the baggage compartment. The Sun visors do more than flip up or down. Evidently this was sound planning because at the end of production, the 30 series, small fuselage, Garrett powered models accounted to just shy of a thousand airplanes delivered to happy Learjet customers. I think the upper level VMO is actually 350 kts, provided it has the Century III wing. Four additional shuttle valves connect the pneumatic system to the brake system for emergency braking. I was rewarded with free download links for a Learjet 24/25 Cockpit Reference Handbook and the Learjet 25 Operating Handbook that has the performance charts.
