Learjet 55

Radar's rough range is about $710K to $1.6M for a 1986 and $710K to $1.6M for a 1981. From Radar's listing-based estimates for business jets of similar engine thrust and age. These are rough ranges, not appraisals: hours, engines, damage history, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.

What moves the price of any one Learjet 55: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline shown on this page; a Learjet 55 with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

Radar does not list aircraft for sale. It tracks all 58 US-registered Learjet 55s by tail number, each with its registration record and a value estimate, so you can check a listing against the value of its build year and look up the aircraft's own history before you call.

58 Learjet 55s are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 1981 to 1986. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.

As published: up to 8 passengers, a range of 1,870 nm (2,152 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 490 ktas (564 mph), a cabin 5 ft 9 in high, 5 ft 11 in wide and 2 × Honeywell (Garrett) TFE731 engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

The Learjet 55's published range is 1,870 nautical miles (2,152 statute miles), with bJT: maximum NBAA IFR range at long-range cruise with all passenger seats occupied, 200 nm alternate. Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.

Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 1,870 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

Not nonstop. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nm over open water, more than the Learjet 55's published range of 1,870 nm.

The Learjet 55 cruises at up to 490 knots true airspeed (about 564 mph), as published.

Up to 8 passengers, the most the type is published for. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Learjet 55 may seat fewer.

5 ft 9 in high and 5 ft 11 in wide, 16 ft 8 in long, as published.

Of the 58 US-registered Learjet 55s, 47 (81%) are registered to companies, trusts and other entities and 11 to individuals. Radar names entity owners only; individuals are shown as privately registered. The most common states of registration are DE (16), FL (9), NC (7).
