Beautiful shots taken while the sun is below the horizon, Accidents 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. The nose gear doors operate mechanically with linkages attached to the nose gear shock strut. I took it one step further for my personal flying and in effect made an XR version for a little Extra Range. Lears made their mark with exceptional speed and high-level cruise. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=370969, (You must log in or sign up to post here. In order to minimize heat build-up in the brakes and reduce brake wear, pilots are advised to deploy the spoilers upon touchdown. In case you just skipped over the CJ610 engine history, the highlights are that every production Model 20 series was powered by some version of the GE CJ610-1 through the CJ610-8A turbojet engine rated at 2,850 or 2,950 lbst. This is a glide ratio of 16 to 1 and is based on a wings level glide with gear and flap up and a gross weight of 11000 to 12000 pounds. Even more interesting might be why the Model 35 and 36 have that funny shaped 2-foot wing extension and why the plane is a foot or so longer than planned. Dial markings are based on percent of maximum allowable engine speed. To demonstrate the how much the fuel those tip tanks hold, this is what can happen if a greenhorn fuel boy fills one wing with the other being empty. These numbers were soon eclipsed by Cessna and their Citation line of business jets. The Bombardier Learjet 31 can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. Gates was able to immediately improve the financial stability of Lear Jet and brought in their kind of proven management controls and marketing savvy that had generated profitable and dynamic growth of their parent company Gates Rubber for the last 55 years. With a cruising speed of approximately Mach 0.76, passengers reach their destination in good time. Now, that would be ideal, maybe even make a video. Be careful though, and make sure you have a backup of your aircraft.cfg file and if you screw it up dont email the developer and ask for help. In 1974 the Peruvian Air Force purchased two 25Bs with a belly pod that contained an aerial survey camera. 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 So, 10 percent of this essay, is "Review", and 90 percent about the history of the Learjet ? There are more Learjets in service than any other business jet. 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. - Use this form or email to reach out to us: feedback@planephd.com. For some reason, this XP GLJ 25D SE has all the switches and lights but does not have the system coded. Despite being used at lower altitudes and equipped with small landing gear, the Learjet can land on gravel runways if it is fitted with a special "gravel kit". Type development continued with the Models 25D and 25G, which included more advanced CJ610-8A engines and a ceiling increase to 51,000 feet. And best of all, I can place my Flight1 GTN combo in the VC panel with a super simple line change in the aircraft.cfg file. hmm. At this speed, the Learjet 25 glides approximately 26 nautical miles for each 10000 feet of altitude loss. The PW JT15D-5 powers the Hawker 400XP with 3,400 lbst. Twin engine turbojet aircraft. Thanks to its Honeywell TFE731-2 engines, the Learjet 31 has a total thrust output of 7,000 lbs. You can use 15,300 pounds as ramp weight with a MTOW of 15,000 lbs. Aircraft flying government officials, Helicopters A pre-owned Lear 70/75 fetches between $5.50 million and $9.25 million. This is not a problem in the real world cockpit but is a pain in most desktop simulator models. No more barrel rolls by the demo pilots, no more geographic sales regions within countries, no more price cutting or undercutting sales prices by competing salesmen. I have a fast PC with a 970 video card, I should have bought a 980, but didnt. 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. I have been told that the aircraft likes the dutch roll during landing approach or the student like to do it and you need to declare fuel critical while taxing out. 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. I'm not trying to dissuade you, just make you understand the JOYS of ownership! 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. But first, they needed to stop the bleeding and improve the cash flow at their newly acquired Learjet factory. Embraer is the latest manufacturer entering the business jet market with the Phenom and Legacy lines of business jets. The brake valves are controlled via the rudder pedal toe brakes through mechanical linkages. If the yellow disc is ruptured, either or both containers have been discharged into the engine nacelle. 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 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. A 25 will burn more fuel, of course, but that's only part of the equation. Me, I would not touch a Lear 25 just because of age. Thanks to its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines, the Learjet 60 has a total thrust output of 9,200 lbs. They also make good use of tooltips that a useful description of the selected device, not just what it is. The 30 series have much more fuel efficient engines, not to mention quieter. Simply put, a shorter cabin to make room for more fuel. The Learjet 24 had several variants, designated by letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. That is really nice. I like this Classic Learjet a lot. There are several extra lights and switches throughout the cockpit and cabin. Thanks to its Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines, the Learjet 45XR has a total thrust output of 7,000 lbs. This was done with a two-foot extension on each tip. I would like to recount the history of the General Electric CJ610 engine used in all the 20 series Learjet models, including our GLJ 25SE and hopefully get back to the story of how the original Garrett AiResearch TFE731 engine came to be. The Bombardier Learjet 31 can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. The hydraulically retractable landing gear is of conventional tricycle configuration with air-hydraulic shock-type nose and main gear. At idle on the ground a 20 series learjet will burn something like 150 +or- us gallons per hour. WebThe Lear 70 cruises 11% faster than the CJ3, and has an tremendous ceiling of FL510, allowing operators to climb into the smoothest air and optimize fuel efficiency. Just use the Find function and locate the values in the aircraft.cfg file and make your changes. Thanks to Alain Rouleau at xtremePrototypes.com for answering all my questions and providing the evaluation software. 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 Interconnecting cables synchronize the flaps throughout their range of travel and a limit switch located on the left flap sector prevents over-travel. This is a significant step forward in providing an affordable, but yet sufficiently complex model of one of the many classic LearJets. Taxi operations are accomplished using the electronic nose wheel steering. The Model 31/31A would be the final adaptation of the small bore fuselage but add large delta fins at the rear for yaw control and added 4 foot extensions to each wing with 4 foot high winglets for improved efficiencies and more docile handling. Because this new release is specifically designed for newer PC and video cards, you can expect superior performance. Or you could always get a Notar. The Venezuelan armed forces forced the Learjet to land on suspicion the aircraft was being used for "illicit activities," possibly involving drugs smuggling. The Flysimware Lear fuel burn more or less works out when using a M0.71-M0.72 cruise, which I've always considered to be quite slow. The best glide distance with engines windmilling is obtained with a clean airplane configuration and with a glide speed of 160 to 170 knots. 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 It is a stretched version of the Learjet 24. On the same amount of fuel the Model 35 has a range of 2,630 nm against 1,621 for the Model 25B; the Model 36 endurance is 3,146 nm to 1,861 for the 25C. 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 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. All three installers are included. WebThe Learjet 25D is powered by General Electric CJ610-8A engines with 2,850 pounds of thrust. 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. MSFS beta update [1.30.12.0] - January 17, 2023. 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. However, it has been often at the cost of fuel efficiency. The electrically operated RPM tachometer consists of a signal generator on the engine and an indicator located in the centre of the instrument panel. The 36, because the normal behind-the-aft seat baggage area was removed to make room for the larger fuselage fuel tank, has a small luggage area opposite the door under which a slide-out potty is stowed. If you are looking for an up-to-date modern design, high definition, and highly detailed Classic Learjet, you cant do any better than this one. The inboard doors are hydraulically operated while the outboard doors are mechanically operated by linkage connected to the main gear struts. The Learjet 25 cabin is pressurized to enable high altitude operations without the use of supplemental oxygen. - Aircraft data that you believe is inaccurate or have specific experiences. Heck, if Learjet can do it, why cant we. The conventional airspeed scale is calibrated in knots and the Mach scale is calibrated in percentage of Mach and connected to an aneroid that moves the scale to compensate for changes in pressure altitude. Wheel speed transducers in each main wheel axle induce an AC frequency on the DC voltage input proportionate to the wheel speed as they are driven by the wheels. This has always been a choke point, restricting airflow and creating drag at high speed. A drag chute is fitted as optional equipment on some Learjet 25 aircraft. Good luck. 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. Conventional wing flaps are used to improve low speed flying characteristics and reduce landing and take-off speeds. 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. 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. The Bombardier Learjet 60 can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. The Learjet 25 utilize wheel brakes as the primary method for reducing speed after landing. The tip tanks provide additional fuel capacity to enable longer times aloft. The panel has been cleaned up, regrouped and made somewhat prettier. Lears made their mark with exceptional speed and high-level cruise. And, of course, the TFE 731 meets FAR 36 noise requirements and is a much cleaner running powerplant than the GE was. This is an FSX limitation, no Ramp Weight field. COPYRIGHT 1973, THE McGRAW-HILL COMPANIES, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. The Model 28 had the same fuselage and engines at the Model 25D but, totally different high aspect ratio wings, larger wing surface area and the first winglets for a production business jet. Please send us your experiences on your aircraft. One of the Learjet milestones was the delivery of the 500th Learjet, Learjet 25D on April 8, 1975 to the Mexican Navy. That one is indeed in work and will, most likely be available by a different developer in the next couple of years or so, maybe sooner. ( The Bombardier Learjet 45XR can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. The valves are controlled by the FIRE switch and activation of these valves are indicated with pinhead lights located in the cockpit next to the FIRE switch. 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. Over pressurization is prevented by a pressure relief valve which opens at 1700 psi. Nose wheel steering is electrically controlled via the rudder pedals. 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. Ouch. The Lear loves to be at FL400. I doubt not a single person could tell the difference when flying this add-on in any of the 3 sims, but it makes for more realistic loadings when I use real world flight planning data. Tom Allensworth, One of our Planephd Experts will be in touch with you shortly. Wow. VRSURGEON also didn't state where his Family is, possibly not near a commercial field? Now, it is loaded, maybe overloaded, with takeoff and landing calculation charts, tables and data. Flying yourself's a beautiful thing! The 30 series have much more fuel efficient engines, not to mention quieter. It comes only as a pdf and in two editions the full blown 160 pages that in provided to registered user and a still excellent 70 page Sample Version for those who wish to see some detail prior to purchase. This has to do with the AP over rides of the pitch and roll and the VS modes. 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.
