Composite Structure

Minimize drag with smoother aerodynamics

The Learjet 85 is the first all‐composite business jet ever designed for type certification under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 25. Set to revolutionize the industry, the all-composite structure will increase passenger comfort by allowing for the use of complex curves in the aircraft cross-section, thinner wall thickness to maximize cabin volume and optimized placement of windows and other cut-outs.

The advantages don’t stop there. In addition to improving performance and minimizing drag through smoother aerodynamics, the all-composite airframe requires less maintenance, is easier to repair and ensures extended service life. Increasing both the value of the aircraft and your peace-of-mind.
