The Learjet 45XR refines the original 45 with higher-rated engines and improved performance while retaining its long, flat-floor light-jet cabin. It is commonly considered for executive groups that want double-club seating and brisk cruise, with tail-specific baggage, runway and amenity checks remaining essential.
Why the Learjet 45XR remains a charter consideration
Bombardier introduced the 45XR during the 2000s as the performance development of the Model 45, using TFE731-20BR engines for improved hot-and-high and range capability. The XR remained in production until the newer Learjet 75 generation, and many examples have since received cabin, connectivity and avionics updates that should be documented in the proposal.

Inside the Learjet 45XR
Bombardier's archived 45XR factsheet lists a 410-cubic-foot cabin approximately 19 feet 9 inches long, 5 feet 1 inch wide and 4 feet 11 inches high. Eight individual seats in a double-club arrangement, folding worktables, a forward refreshment center and aft lavatory create a useful business layout, with windows bringing natural light beside each club group. Approximately 65 cubic feet of combined baggage is a model-level planning reference, while a reviewed Clay Lacy tail confirms that seat tracking, power, phone, Wi-Fi, installed lighting and catering equipment depend on the offered aircraft.

Learjet 45XR range, cruise speed and flight deck
Bombardier's archived 45XR factsheet publishes 1,985 nautical miles with eight passengers and 2,087 nautical miles with four passengers, plus 432 KTAS long-range and 465 KTAS high-speed cruise. Twin Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines, the swept wing and Primus 1000 avionics define the factory aircraft; performance improvements do not remove the need for carrier calculations of payload, runway, weather, routing and reserves.
- Range reference
- Approximately 1,985 nm with 8 passengers; up to 2,087 nm with 4 passengers
- Archived Bombardier 45XR factsheet under stated passenger assumptions; carrier documentation controls the mission.
- Cruise speed reference
- 432 KTAS long-range; up to 465 KTAS high-speed cruise
- Archived Bombardier 45XR factsheet; routing and winds change trip speed.
- Engines and efficiency context
- Two Honeywell TFE731-20BR turbofans
- Installed engine standard, thrust setting, altitude, payload and cruise profile determine fuel burn; the model-level engine identity is not a trip fuel-consumption guarantee.
- Avionics
- Honeywell Primus 1000 integrated avionics with tail-specific later upgrades
- Aerodynamic design
- Swept wing with winglets and a flat-floor Model 45 fuselage
