About this aircraft
The Learjet 40XR upgrades the 40 with improved engines and performance packages—better hot/high and climb behavior while keeping the short 40 cabin.
It was marketed as a more capable light Lear for operators who liked the 40 footprint but needed stronger operational margins. Charter fleets often prefer XR over baseline 40 for payload flexibility on warm-weather departures.
Choose 40XR when you want Learjet light-jet speed with the XR performance kit on short-fuselage missions.
