autopilot. At idle on the ground a 20 series learjet will burn something like 150 +or- us gallons per hour. The Model 28 had the same fuselage and engines at the Model 25D but, totally different high aspect ratio wings, larger wing surface area and the first winglets for a production business jet. Gates was able to immediately improve the financial stability of Lear Jet and brought in their kind of proven management controls and marketing savvy that had generated profitable and dynamic growth of their parent company Gates Rubber for the last 55 years. This is a review of the recently introduced Xtreme Prototypes Classic GLJ Model 25 Special Edition aircraft add on for FSX and P3D. Intersting. The Model 25D with the -8A mods was actually a better performing engine at very high altitudes than the Garett TFE731-2 fanjets designed for the Model 35. The Learjet 24 had several variants, designated by letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. Heck, if Learjet can do it, why cant we. The original tips were aligned with the longitudinal axis. It's got autopilots that will do everything but put sugar in your coffee. Parts are actually less of an issue with a 25 than you might think, because so many have been scrapped that you can usually find used parts. The engine compartments consist of an eight-stage axial-flow compressor directly coupled to a two-stage turbine, a through-flow annular combustion system, variable inlet guide vanes, controlled compressor interstage bleed, exhaust nozzle and accessory drive system. Nose wheel steering is electrically controlled via the rudder pedals. Here is a recent price break down from Business and Corporate Aviation magazine. No more barrel rolls by the demo pilots, no more geographic sales regions within countries, no more price cutting or undercutting sales prices by competing salesmen. As good and as detailed and as beautiful as this GLJ Model 25s flight manual may be there is still room for improvement. One summary table for fuel burn (1st hour, 2nd hour, etc) is included and a simplified example of a 950 nm flight is included which is more than most other developers include so I may be coming down a little hard on them. The spoilers provide an effective means of increasing normal rates of descent and may be used as a drag device to achieve rapid airspeed deceleration. Just remember that it all starts with the Altitude Pre-selector and it is a lot easier if you have the airplane already at the correct airspeed and in the proper climb or descent attitude when the AP is engaged. The CJ610-6 engines fitted to the Learjet 25 have very low inertia and accelerate rapidly. Other than a few improvements in avionics, tires, adding anti-skid brakes, and fuel dump valves in the tip tanks, and introducing single point refueling, most of the later model 20 series Learjets were simply trading passenger seats for larger fuel tanks or vice versa. The Learjet 25D was first built in the mid-1970s but is still flying today. I read that this new VC has over 1,500 parts and 250 custom systems, animated gauges, switches, knobs, levers, light indicators and flight instruments. True! At idle on the ground a 20 series learjet will burn something like 150 +or- us gallons per hour. The Lear loves to be at FL400. The vortex generators, those rows of little metal tabs, and small fences were replaced with newly designed cuffs for the wingtip fins and Boundary Layer Energizers, BLEs. They put out 18.6 percent more thrust at sea level than the GE CJ610s used on the Model 25, and nine percent more thrust at 40,000 feet. And best of all, I can place my Flight1 GTN combo in the VC panel with a super simple line change in the aircraft.cfg file. It is fairly easy to narrow down the identity of a Learjet with 3 or more small fuselage windows with large wingtip fuel tanks. Moderators: richierich, ua900, PanAm_DC10, hOMSaR, Military Aircraft During ground operations, a solenoid limits the pressure differential to 0.25 psi in order to ensure normal functioning of the door and emergency exit. Be careful though, and make sure you have a backup of your aircraft.cfg file and if you screw it up dont email the developer and ask for help. Additionally, the Learjet 60 has an average hourly fuel burn of 203 Gallons per Hour (GPH). Logically laid out, with tons of high resolution, close up screenshots with lots of bullets, detailed descriptions of every bit and piece of the aircraft, charts, tables, checklists, procedures, illustrations, references, known issues, and so much more. I seldom fly with more than 4 passengers, but many times I reduce the fuel load to the Max Landing Weight of 13,300 because the fuel dump procedure is not included. So, because the 35 and 36 are 2,000 pounds heavier than the 25, wing area had to be added to match the 25s performance. This method was first used by Lionheart Creations in their Lear 24B add on and makes great use of the limited panel space. I would like to recount the history of the General Electric CJ610 engine used in all the 20 series Learjet models, including our GLJ 25SE and hopefully get back to the story of how the original Garrett AiResearch TFE731 engine came to be. This increased weight is significant because the additional 710 pounds aft gave Gates engineers a real cg problem that precluded a simple change of engines on the Model 25, as the original plan intended. The cabin pressure is provided by the conditioned air entering the cabin through the distribution ducts and controlled by modulating the amount of air exhausted from the cabin. A tank cross-flow valve is installed to prevent fuel transfer between wing tanks. The nose gear doors operate mechanically with linkages attached to the nose gear shock strut. The lower console is now wider, not double wide, but somewhat wider. At idle on the ground a 20 series learjet will burn something like 150 +or- us gallons per hour. Your burn rate is probably 140-175 gal/ hour, depending on power settings. The thrust reverser paddles are removable with a single click so we can see the partially hidden switches. A new cuff was designed to accelerate the air movement in this area that smoothed the flow between the engine nacelle and the wings trailing edge. It's got a stick shaker unit that forces the nose down if you get it too slow, pulls it up if you get too fast, By the Numbers Recent Learjet sales is a very weak third place behind Cessna and Embraer. I have a fast PC with a 970 video card, I should have bought a 980, but didnt. Understand that age equals maintenance because things wear out. This has always been a choke point, restricting airflow and creating drag at high speed. You can only carry so much fuel and still have room for a few passengers. Gates Learjet delivered its one-thousandth airplane a Model 35A in late March to Eaton Corporaion of Cleveland, Ohio. The Learjet 25 offers an ideal high speed platform for business travel for six to eight passengers. You will want to read the manual and maybe read the forums to become familiar with this early Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). This valve controlls * All weight in excess of the Max ZFW must be fuel in the - 25 C In standby, it powers just the gyro The trim check very important on the Lear Jet, as the trim system The system operates the landing History. Lear never used an A designator for any production Model 25, only on the Model 24. I exchanged a few emails with the developer about the Empty Weight found in the aircraft.cfg file and therefore in the dropdown Fuel and Payload box. by the manufacturer or FAA. The Learjet 25 cabin is pressurized to enable high altitude operations without the use of supplemental oxygen. During fuel transfer, the fuselage tank transfer pump pumps fuel into both the wing tanks. If the yellow disc is ruptured, either or both containers have been discharged into the engine nacelle. A pre-charged accumulator dampens and absorbs pressure surges. You have to remember, VRSURGEON's mission is about 2.0 - 2.5 hours/ each leg for visiting family . Gates thought a replacement for these late model 20 series jets should be fairly straight forward and they managed a great replacement with the introduction of the Gates Learjet Model 35. That one is indeed in work and will, most likely be available by a different developer in the next couple of years or so, maybe sooner. WebThe Learjet 24 is an American twin-engine, high-speed business jet, which was manufactured by Learjet after the success of the Learjet 23. Tom Allensworth, I am getting a little lazy in my old age so I am going to paste the GE engine history here in lieu of typing it from scratch. Of course, I always reserve the right to refuse but should I take the add on, I always do my best to provide a fair and balanced review. Of all the models that you are likely to see in the skies that have the large wingtip fuel tanks the most numerous in descending order are: All the more recent models with larger wing area with winglets, longer and/or larger fuselages and larger diameter engines are: The grand total as of a few years ago was 2,330 Learjets of all models by all LearJet companies. This valve controlls * All weight in excess of the Max ZFW must be fuel in the - 25 C In standby, it powers just the gyro The trim check very important on the Lear Jet, as the trim system The system operates the landing History. The engine fire system is of the continuous-element type and will provide a FIRE warning indication to the crew in the event that the rear nacelle area temperature exceeds 510 degrees Fahrenheit or if the forward nacelle area temperature exceeds 480 degrees Fahrenheit. WebFuel Burn: 257.4 GPH Stall Speed: 87 KIAS Rate of climb: 6,800 FPM Rate of climb (1 engine out): 2,050 FPM Ceiling: 51,000 FT Ceiling (1 engine out): 27,000 FT Takeoff distance: 3,393 FT Landing distance: 3,310 FT Weights Gross Weight: 13,500 LBS Empty Weight: 7,327 LBS Maximum Payload: 3,760 LBS Fuel capacity: 840 GAL Ownership . Many Learjet 25 aircraft remain in regular use today, particularly in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. One of Gates priorities was to improve the low speed handling of the Learjet while keeping the top end speed somewhere in the low Mach 80s. This would solve all three disadvantages of the Model 25 Learjet. It's got autopilots that will do everything but put sugar in your coffee. When I asked, the developer about it, he agreed that Fuel Jettison would be a nice feature, but stated they have to draw the line someplace or they would never complete the package. This is a significant step forward in providing an affordable, but yet sufficiently complex model of one of the many classic LearJets. Updates to the jet's design included a re-contoured leading edge to improve cruise performance, as well as higher ceiling capabilities of 51,000 feet and reduced runway length of I have been told that to do a hot section on the engine in a PC-12 costs about the same as getting both sides of a King Air done. Enough of the background and similar Learjets, let look at the Learjet 25D that inspired the Xtreme Prototypes design team. Garrett fanjet Engines for the Model 35 a real hodgepodge of parts. The very first change was to replace the laid-back free-wheeling style of management with more professionalism for the sales team. They can walk you thru the service cost aspect of a Lear. Each wing tank extends from the centre bulkhead outboard to the wing tip and provides separate fuel for each engine. The Model 35/36 would go on to sell an astounding 738 units. This added a stall strip and full-chord wing fence to create an aerodynamic warning and a straight-ahead stall. This combination makes the 35 and 36 much less costly to operate than a 25B or C and it will give them one of the best single engine angles of climb of any of the jets. Flapper-type check valves, located in the various wing ribs, allow free fuel flow inboard but restrict outboard flow. hehehehe. 60 somethin gallon tank, 300nm+ range, I've stayed airborne for over 3 hours on one tank. - Use this form or email to reach out to us: [email protected]. By 2018, 1970s Learjet 25s were sold for under $200,000. The big news is that the decreased fuel consumption increases the range of the airplanes about 40 percent. At 6000 feet elevation, 50 degrees Fahrenheit and with an average load of 5 passengers, the Learjet 25B will require approximately 8000 feet of runway. The engineers have effectively picked up another foot of cabin room by switching to a narrower, people-sized cabin door in place of the old cargo-width entrance. So, in summary, it appears that Gates was going down a path of basically adding two new engines and whatever electrical, mechanical, hydraulics-wise and otherwise was required to make them work on an existing well developed airplane to move from turbojet engines to fanjet engines. The aircraft's high rate of climb enables it to pass congested flight levels quickly. Moving the tip tanks out undoubtedly added inertia and so, to increase lateral control without heavying up the feel, spoilerons are now used for additional roll command. Even with a 35 look for as new as you can afford. Lears made their mark with exceptional speed and high-level cruise. The Model 25G received a thicker wing section where the wing joins the fuselage. Many don't put that on their FCar in decades. Go get it here. The Learjet 24 had several variants, designated by letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. The 25G was introduced in late 1980 mainly to set or break some speed records for publicity. 2023 GlobalAir.com. In master mode, 10 degrees of steering is possible. Ouch. Just use the Find function and locate the values in the aircraft.cfg file and make your changes. Primary flight control is achieved by use of dual control wheels and rudder pedals. That could be said for ferrari ownership as well. Production of the Learjet 24 began in 1966 and continued through 1977, with a total of 259 aircraft built. Evidently this was sound planning because at the end of production, the 30 series, small fuselage, Garrett powered models accounted to just shy of a thousand airplanes delivered to happy Learjet customers. The inboard doors are hydraulically operated while the outboard doors are mechanically operated by linkage connected to the main gear struts. A jet pump installed in each tip tank transfers fuel into the wing tanks. WebThe Learjet 25 generally has five fuel tanks. The fuel flow through a rotor-turbine at each engine causes the rotor to spin and a pickup coil emits pulses as the rotor blades pass through the coil field. To overcome the problem, they added 13 inches to the fuselage ahead of the wings leading edge. Phantom Aero Technical ATTC034, (1998), Johannesburg, This page was last edited on 17 January 2023, at 05:24. Here is a photo of a Model 25 test plane with a Garrett fanjet on the right and a standard GE CJ610-6 turbojet of the left side. This was caused by the weight of all that fuel in the tip tanks. I decided on an Empty Weight of 7,168 pounds and a total fuel capacity of 1,055 gallons. Make sure you checkout the Approach plates and the iPad on the side panels. If the red disc is ruptured, either or both the containers have been discharged overboard as a result of an overheat condition causing excessive pressure within the containers. I even like the default EICAS panel feature because I am only one click away from having the GTNs or weather radar in the panel. The add-on AP looks identical to the rea world version and probably works the same with the exception of those features that are not coded Roll Turn Knob and Pitch Command Wheel. This Model 35/36 would be the last Learjet with those large wingtip fuel tanks. The Bombardier Learjet 31 can cruise at up to 51,000 feet. It is possible for gravel from an improperly packed gravel runway to be sucked into the engines causing "foreign object damage", thus the need for the kit. So why are we talking about the Model 35/36 in a review of the Model 25D? There are several extra lights and switches throughout the cockpit and cabin. As strong as that 8 spar wing might be, when you put more than a ton of weight on the wingtips and then land a little hard with a 7 ton airplane moving at 120 knots or so, something is most likely going to break and when it does it is very flammable. The nose wheel has a specially moulded tire to prevent water splashing into the engines. The rudder pedals mechanically operate the rudder for directional yaw control. 1,000 nm fuel burn for the Model 25D is 3,920 pounds, compared to 2,530 pounds for the Model 35/36, and 2,480 for the Model 31A. Just to whet your appetite, I have a few closeup screenshots to show some of the HD detail. The Lear 60 is also still rolling down the line, and within weeks the "Continental" will roll out its first production aircraft. If utilization is 100 hours per year, that's about 20 trips a year. Each wing tank extends from the centre bulkhead outboard to the wing tip and provides separate fuel for each engine. They have their own book for the 30 series Learjets. Review: Classic GLJ Model 25 Special Edition, The Janitor - An Interview with Tom Allensworth, Interview with Joshua Howard Re MS FLIGHT - March 2012, Interview with LMOC Re P3D - September 2012, The AVSIM Hack - First Published in May, 2009, The AVSIM Hack - The Full Story - Published April 2013. - Aircraft specific reviews and articles. If you happen to be overtaken at normal cruise, which could be at 51,000 feet, it will be one of the Gulfstreams or a Citation X or another Learjet. Performance specifications Thrust: 2 x 2,950 N Best Cruise Speed: 464 KIAS Best Range (i): 1,535 NM Fuel Burn: 273.2 GPH Stall Speed: 91 KIAS Rate of climb: 6,050 FPM Ceiling: 45,000 FT Takeoff distance: 5,186 FT Landing distance: 2,703 FT Weights Gross Weight: 15,000 LBS Empty Weight: 7,640 The aircraft description and specifications section, instrument panels, systems description have their one chapter or section along with a an excellent flight planning chapter. The Model 31/31A would be the final adaptation of the small bore fuselage but add large delta fins at the rear for yaw control and added 4 foot extensions to each wing with 4 foot high winglets for improved efficiencies and more docile handling. Check column 5, for the 1,000 nm comparison of the fuel burn. Best Range (i): 1,590 NM Fuel Burn: 256.0 GPH Stall Speed: 90 KIAS Rate of climb: 6,900 FPM Ceiling: 45,000 FT Takeoff distance: 3,393 FT Landing distance: 3,310 FT Weights Gross Weight: 12,499 LBS Empty Weight: 6,150 LBS Fuel capacity: 834 GAL Ownership Costs 1965 Total Cost of Ownership: Register For Free Total Fixed Cost In terms of cost, the Learjet 45XR has an estimated hourly charter price of $4,000. I was at the Lear factory in Wichita about a month ago. It only takes about 5 minutes to jettison the necessary fuel from the tip tanks, but it is so enjoyable. Exactly which specific model is this Classic Learjet? I suggested the Empty Weight be reduced from 8,120 to 7,468 and the fuel load increased to 910 gallons. A duty cycle of 3 minutes on and a cooling period of 20 minutes off is required to avoid overheating the pump motor. It's got a stick shaker unit that forces the nose down if you get it too slow, pulls it up if you get too fast, fuel cost (one hour) Lear 24F $591.73 Lear 25D $721.92 Lear 35A $534.76 This is from the XP Flight Manual. Pilot workload is high and approach, landing and takeoff speeds are above average for civilian aircraft. Intersting. Aircraft flying government officials, Helicopters It had the old Air Force engines on it. Finally, the Xtreme Prototypes Classic GLJ Model 25 SE. Rest assured, the productionl ine is still rolling right along. Small stall strips were place on the leading edge with a newly designed stall fence. Robertson, of STOL fame, also took a crack at adding small winglets on top of the wingtip fuel tanks to try to enhance the endurance of the Model 25 along with replacing the GE CJ610 engines with PW JT15D-5 engines to add STOL capability to the already hot Model 25. Flying yourself's a beautiful thing! The Mode Selection switches, Altitude Pre-selector, and AP Vertical Speed Selector are mounted helter-skelter, just as the real world classic Learjets. http://www.avsim.com/index.php/_/reviews/aircraft/review-learjet-24b-by-lionheart-creations-ltd-r2543, http://www.avsim.com/index.php/_/reviews/aircraft/review-a-comparison-of-2-jets-r2567. The cabin temperature is controlled by regulating the temperature of the pressure bleed air that is routed through the cabin. Bottom Line: A most definite Buy Rating. Things seem to be just fine at the Lear jet factory. AC current is provided by two 1000 Volt-Amperes (VA) solid-state inverters. In 1974 the Peruvian Air Force purchased two 25Bs with a belly pod that contained an aerial survey camera. Pretty heady stuff, this Century III wing mod. The 30 series have much more fuel efficient engines, not to mention quieter. A fuel control metering system selects the rate of fuel flow to the engine combustor.[3]. This valve controlls * All weight in excess of the Max ZFW must be fuel in the - 25 C In standby, it powers just the gyro The trim check very important on the Lear Jet, as the trim system The system operates the landing History. GlobalAir.com is your partner in connecting you with relevant information and resources. New safety features were high on the priority list like the Century III wing design with SoftFlite to improve the low speed handling characteristics to appeal more to the general aviation corporate pilots and less to the ex-military trained corporate pilots. This is a glide ratio of 16 to 1 and is based on a wings level glide with gear and flap up and a gross weight of 11000 to 12000 pounds. All rights reserved. You can use 15,300 pounds as ramp weight with a MTOW of 15,000 lbs. WebEvery Lear that comes out of the factory is equipped to fly itself. This one got interrupted a couple of times and I feel guilty that it took me so long to finally complete the review. Some were very popular and others were just bad timing or too expensive to justify. The Models 35/36 and all the winglet models have much larger engines cowlings and a slightly longer fuselage than the Model 25D. I did notice that the Sample Manual does not have the full Flight Planning section that is only available to those that purchase the add-on. A jet pump and electrical boost pump are mounted in each wing tank near the centre bulkhead to supply fuel under pressure to the respective engine fuel system. Back in the real early days, fuel efficiency wasnt a big concern mainly because jet fuel only cost 18 20 cents a gallon. On aircraft 25-061 through 25-180 the engine driven hydraulic pumps supply fluid under pressure of 1500 psi to the system pressure is maintained at 1250 to 1500 psi by a pressure regulator. Practically everything is the cockpit is clickable, moveable, animated in some way and can be used to simulate an action or procedure. If it floats or flies rent it.

The autopilot head unit is mounted on the lower center console immediately below the Fuel Control Panel. Thanks to Alain Rouleau at xtremePrototypes.com for answering all my questions and providing the evaluation software. So, if the normal econ cruise is supposed to be M0.77-M0.78, the fuel burn modeled is definitely too high. In terms of cost, the Learjet 60 has an estimated hourly charter price of $4,250. - Send us pictures of your plane. Enough of the background and similar Learjets, let look at the Learjet 25D that inspired the Xtreme Prototypes design team. It is simple enough to modify the fuel capacity for a fuel tank and it is easy enough to modify the Empty Weight of the aircraft. XPs GLJ 25 was inspired, according to the manual, by the Model 25D with a few real world options added, such as the Dee Howard thrust reversers, Century III wing with SoftFlite Boundary Layers and some more recent additions such as the availability to add some of our 3rd party avionics to the VC panel such as the popular Flight1 GTN 650/750 combo or one of the newer weather radars. A tank cross-flow valve is installed to prevent fuel transfer between wing tanks. Starting ignition is provided by a dual output capacitor-discharge system.
