Bombardier launched a new variant in 2005 designated the Learjet 60XR and following certification deliveries started in 2007.
Grandfathered on the 1966 Learjet 24 type certificate, the Bombardier Learjet 60XR was built in 2013. It features three-rotor disc brakes, good for 450–600 landings, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, upgraded AHRS and FMS, electronic charts, enhanced MFD, and optional XM radio weather. Cabin space is better utilized with five floor plans, LED lighting, better insulation, and an improved cabin management system. The Learjet 60XR has the largest Learjet cabin, its cross-section is competitive but its length is 2 to 5 ft (0.61 to 1.52 m) shorter than other mid-size jets like the Hawker 800XP. The small 265 sq ft (24.6 m2) wing evolved from the Learjet 23, with the tip tanks replaced by winglets, and runway requirements are long for the 23,500 lb (10,700 kg) aircraft. A typically equipped Bombardier Learjet 60XR weighs 940 lb (430 kg) more than the original Model 60, tanks-full payload is 600 lb (270 kg) and the four-passenger range is 2,240 nmi (4,150 km).
