Inside The $10 Million Learjet 75 Liberty

Inside The $10 Million Learjet 75 Liberty Private Jet 0:00 - Intro The Bombardier Learjet 75 Liberty is the latest in Bombardier’s Learjet lineup, and it’s a new and updated variant of the popular light jet. Building on the popular platform of the Learjet 70 and 75, Bombardier have made slight improvements with a minor increase in range, comfort, and efficiency. Thanks to the advanced wing design of the Learjet 75, the Liberty provides one of the smoothest rides in the light jet category. Here is everything you need to know about the Bombardier Learjet 75 Liberty. 0:43 - Interior Though identical from the outside, the differences between the Learjet 75 and 75 Liberty are primarily seen in the interior cabin and performance capabilities. Inside, there is enough space for a total of 9 passengers. The ideal configuration for the jet is six seats with an all-club seat layout, though that can be brought up to eight based on customer preference. An eight-seat configuration would see the addition of two seats in the front of the plane, eliminating the executive suite and reducing the range by 40 nautical miles or 74 kilometers. What makes the six-seat layout ideal is the executive suite: almost like a private office in the sky, it can be found at the front of the cabin, and it’s a private, quiet and spacious room. The aircraft eliminates the two forward aft-facing cabin seats, which are replaced by two fold-down ottomans mounted to the forward bulkhead; this gives nearly 3 feet or 90 centimeters of legroom and creates a pair of executive seats with legroom comparable to what you might find in a large-cabin jet. These seats are accompanied by two oversized and more substantial fold-out sidewall tables. The executive suite seats face away from the rest of the aircraft, offering a modicum of privacy. Extra-large concealable executive side tables, electrical USB connectors, power outlets, and reading lights come as standard. 4G ATG high-speed internet connectivity is available. Bombardier have also designed the aircraft to allow passengers to access in-flight storage throughout the flight. The external accent lights, auxiliary power unit, and lav sink—all standard on the 75—are optional on the Liberty. 4:37 - Cockpit Upfront, Bombardier describes the Learjet 75 Liberty as the “best equipped light jet cockpit”. Equipped with advanced technologies to meet current and future operational requirements, Bombardier have installed the Bombardier Vision flight deck. Here you can find the latest navigation and communication technologies. Three 14-inch high-resolution displays, Synthetic Vision, enhanced ergonomics and advanced controls all reduce pilot workload. Integrated into the cockpit there’s the Garmin G5000 avionics suite and triple integrated FMS with graphical flight planning. This new business jet is also Part 25 certified, the highest safety standard applicable to airliners. It has many features that its competitors do not. The main landing gear has two wheels. The engines have thrust reversers to brake faster when landing. The Learjet 75 Liberty has also passed unique tests to withstand impacts with large birds and for operations in icing environments. 5:37 - Performance The aircraft of the Learjet lineup have always been loved for their performance, which is why pilots describe them as the closest they get to flying a fighter jet. The Learjet 75 Liberty is powered by two rear-mounted Honeywell TFE731-40BR engines. Each one pushes out 3,850 lbf of thrust. This allows the aircraft to take off in just 4,440 feet or 1,350 meters and land in 2,296 feet or 700 meters. Capable of cruising at a maximum of 51,000 feet or 14.5 kilometers at a speed of 465 knots or 860 kilometers per hour, the aircraft can fly up to 2,070 Nautical Miles, which is 2,400 Miles or 3,850 Kilometers. The Learjet 75 Liberty has a maximum takeoff weight of 21,500 lbs or 9,750 kilograms and burns 200 gallons or 909 liters per hour. 6:58 - The Shut Down In February 2021, Bombardier announced the retirement of the Learjet series, therefore, the 75 Liberty is the final model in the lineup. 8:12 - Charter, Purchase, and Operating Cost The estimated Learjet 75 Liberty charter price is $3,400 per flight hour. A brand new Learjet 75 Liberty has a list price of 9.9 million dollars. Pre-owned models range from 5 to 8 million dollars, even though they’re very hard to find. While the estimated annual Learjet 75 Liberty fixed cost is 400,000 dollars, the estimated hourly variable rate for operating the aircraft is about 2,000 dollars. 9:16 - Outro Aviation Base is your favorite source for your daily dose of aviation videos: private jet reviews, as well as private jet interior, both cabin, and cockpit, along with turboprops, commercial planes, and helicopters.
