About the Learjet 70
Type certificated 2013
Overview
The Learjet 70 is a super-light business jet Bombardier introduced in 2013 as a modernised, short-fuselage development of the Learjet 40XR. Its Honeywell TFE731-40BR engines (3,850 lbf each, single-channel DEEC) and touchscreen Garmin G5000 Vision Flight Deck replaced the 40XR’s earlier powerplant and Pro Line panel, and canted winglets improve high-altitude cruise. It keeps the short cabin of the 40 on the family’s Mach 0.81, 51,000-foot performance profile, and Bombardier built it only from 2013 to 2017 before folding short-cabin demand into the longer Learjet 75.
Very few 70s were built, and that scarcity drives the buying decision more than any spec does. A shopper who wants the modern glass and the short, nimble airframe will spend longer finding a clean 70 than evaluating one, and will usually be pulled toward the Learjet 75 sitting next to it with a longer cabin, similar money, and a far deeper used market. Where the 70 wins is on its own terms: it is the only short-cabin Learjet that carries the modern G5000 panel and winglets, and for the rare buyer who wants that exact combination over a longer cabin, the thin inventory is the price of admission rather than a reason to walk.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Speed and altitude. Mach 0.81 maximum cruise and a 51,000-foot service ceiling place the Lear 70 above most weather and commercial traffic.
- Avionics. The Garmin G5000 Vision Flight Deck is touchscreen-controlled and a substantial situational-awareness upgrade over the Pro Line equipment in legacy Learjets.
- Efficiency. Canted winglets and the -40BR’s aerodynamic refinements yield better fuel efficiency and climb performance than the Lear 40XR.
Trade-offs
- Cabin size. The 7-seat cabin is shorter than the Learjet 75’s 9-seat cabin and may feel tight at maximum occupancy.
- Market position. Production ran 2013 to 2017, a relatively short window before Bombardier focused on the Lear 75 alone, leaving used inventory scarcer than for the 75.
