A successor to the Learjet 25, the Learjet 35 is an American business jet and military transport aircraft produced by Bombardier Learjet in 1973. Its original design consisted of only an updated TFE731 turbofan engine to replace that of the Learjet 25. However, engineers decided to go further with its development to allow longer range and faster speeds. The first flight took place on August 22, 1973, and FAA certification was granted in July, 1974.
The Learjet 35 is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-2-2B turbofan engines with 3,500 pounds of thrust. Its most admired feature is its range, which allows for nonstop travel of 2,125 nm. This jet was also designed with low fuel burn and faster cruise speeds of 436 knots. The cabin has an increased volume 268 cubic feet, which can seat up to eight passengers. The additional 40 cubic feet of baggage space can fit about eight standard-sized suitcases.
Production of the Learjet 35 ended in 1994, with a total of 64 models being built. This jet was largely used for Escuadrón Fénix flights during the Falklands War in 1982. Today, the Learjet 35 is primarily operated by private, corporate, and air taxi operators.
