    History

    The Learjet 60 was developed from the Learjet 55. Bombardier lengthened the fuselage and added more powerful turbofan engines. The modifications improved the aerodynamics and improved cabin size.

    The Learjet 60 is known for its ability to climb to 41,000 feet in just 18.5 minutes at maximum weight. Production of the Lear 60 private jet ended in 2007 after 314 aircraft were placed into production and was superceded by the Lear 60XR.
