ROLE
The Learjet 60 is an improved version of the Learjet 55,
with a longer fuselage and more powerful engines.
It first flew in June 1991 and received FAA certification in January 1993.
The modifications that converted the Learjet Model 55 into a Model 60
resulted from an aerodynamics improvement program and
a need to increase the capacity of the Learjet product line.
Several of these modifications were a first for Learjet, including
an all new inboard wing cuff added to the inboard
sections of the “Longhorn” wing and an all new wing-to-body
fairing. By increasing the wing chord and the leading edge droop,
the wing cuff improved handling during approach and landing
while the wing-to-body fairing reduced the interference drag
between the wing and the fuselage.
