About the Learjet 24

The Learjet 24 is a definitive first-generation business jet, renowned for its fighter-like performance and aggressive ramp appeal. Derived from the Learjet 23, it was designed to accept a higher gross weight and features distinct wingtip fuel tanks.

Key Features for GA Buyers

  • Exceptional Performance: With a climb rate of 6,800 fpm and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, the Lear 24 can outclimb and fly above almost all weather and commercial traffic.
  • Speed: A high-speed cruise of over 450 knots makes it one of the fastest light jets in history.
  • Heritage: It offers a classic “pilot’s airplane” experience with direct mechanical linkages and robust handling.

Trade-offs

  • Noise Regulations: The original CJ610 turbojet engines are extremely loud; many airframes require “hush kits” to meet Stage 3 noise compliance, limiting airport access if unmodified.
  • High Workload: As a complex, high-performance jet, it demands a proficient crew and does not have the automated systems found in modern light jets.
  • Fuel Efficiency: The turbojet engines burn significantly more fuel than modern turbofans.
