01 · Basic info

Bombardier Learjet 55C

Final production version of the Learjet 55, introduced in 1987 with ventral Delta Fins that improve directional stability and reduce takeoff and landing speeds. Extended-range 55C/ER and long-range 55C/LR versions added fuel in the tail cone. The design led to the stretched Learjet 60.
