Learjet 40XR Overview
The Learjet 40XR is a refined evolution of the Learjet 40, which in turn is derived from the larger Learjet 45. The “XR” upgrade adds stronger engines, better hot-and-high performance, and shorter time-to-climb, making it one of the most capable light jets in the world.
The aircraft is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-20BR turbofan engines, which produce more thrust, resulting in shorter takeoff distances and faster climb rates. This makes Learjet 40XR ideal for operations at airports with short runways or in hot and humid environments.
The Learjet 40XR’s core advantage is speed and altitude, pure and simple. With a top cruise speed of Mach 0.81 (approximately 465 knots or 528 mph), this jet easily outpaces most others in its class. For busy executives hopping from Chicago to Dallas, Los Angeles to Aspen, or Boston to Atlanta, that speed translates into real-world time savings.
This aircraft climbs rapidly to cruise altitudes of 45,000 – 51,000 feet, flying above most commercial air traffic and weather systems. That means smoother flights, more direct routings, and fewer ATC delays.

Learjet 40XR Interior
The Learjet 40XR may be classified as a light jet, but its interior offers an experience that rivals larger aircraft in terms of usability, quietness, and executive appeal. Every inch of the cabin is engineered to maximize comfort, privacy, and efficiency.
The cabin of the Learjet 40XR is designed around a single, focused idea: to give every passenger a sense of personal space and luxury, without wasted volume. The interior measures over 17 feet in length, with a width just over 5 feet and a height of 4 feet 9 inches. These dimensions make the 40XR feel spacious and uncluttered, especially in the typical six-passenger configuration.
The standard layout features four leather club-style seats arranged in two facing pairs, with fold-out tables for meetings, meals, or working on a laptop. Behind them, two forward-facing seats are usually positioned near the lavatory, offering additional seating for staff, security personnel, or family members. The aircraft can be reconfigured to accommodate fewer seats for extra legroom, depending on client preferences.
The interior of the Learjet 40XR is customizable, but common finishes include polished wood veneer accents, brushed aluminum hardware, soft LED lighting, and high-quality leather upholstery in tones ranging from ivory and cream to darker espresso shades. Carpeted flooring, recessed lighting, and minimalist sidewall contours create a sleek and refined atmosphere that feels far removed from commercial aviation.
One of the most appreciated features of the 40XR cabin is its low noise environment. While most light jets hover above 75 decibels in cruise, the Learjet 40XR’s interior noise level often remains below 70 dB, allowing passengers to hold conversations, work, or rest without fatigue. The jet is also pressurized to a lower cabin altitude — around 8,000 feet while cruising at 41,000–51,000 feet — reducing physical stress on the body during long flights.
Dual-zone climate control systems allow passengers to set temperature preferences independently, ensuring comfort in every seat. Large, tinted windows on both sides provide plenty of natural light while protecting against glare.
For business travelers, the Learjet 40XR’s cabin is a functional workspace. Depending in configuration, aircraft may include inflight Wi-Fi (air-to-ground or satellite), USB charging ports, power outlets, and even onboard communication systems like satellite phone. The fold-out tables can accommodate a laptop and documents, making the cabin a moving office above the clouds.
If needed, Mercury Jets can coordinate charter flights with specific aircraft offering enhanced tech packages, including encrypted communication systems and media displays.
A compact refreshment center is usually located near the entrance or rear of the cabin. This area can include storage for beverages, snacks, coffee, or even light catering. On select airframes, the refreshment center can be upgraded to include an espresso machine or beverage cooler, stocked according to client preferences.
The lavatory is fully enclosed, private, and located at the rear of the cabin — a must-have feature that distinguishes the 40XR from smaller very light jets that often lack this essential amenity.
The Learjet 40XR provides approximately 65 cubic feet of luggage space — more than enough for six passengers traveling with carry-ons, garment bags, and medium checked luggage. The primary baggage compartment is external but accessible from the ground during boarding and unloading. In-cabin compartments also offer storage for smaller bags, briefcases, or valuables you want to keep close.
