PRICE: A ROUGH RANGE

Learjet 40 price: a rough range by build year.

Radar's value model does not cover the Learjet 40 yet, so this is a rough range, not an estimate for any one aircraft. From Radar's listing-based estimates for business jets of similar engine thrust and age. The band is the range for each build year and the line its middle. Hours, engines, damage history, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.

QUESTIONS

Learjet 40 questions, answered from the data

How much does a Learjet 40 cost?

Radar's rough range is about $3.7M to $8.2M for a 2012 and $1.7M to $3.8M for a 2002. 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 affects the price of a Learjet 40?

What moves the price of any one Learjet 40: 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 40 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.

Where can I find a Learjet 40 for sale?

Radar does not list aircraft for sale. It tracks all 74 US-registered Learjet 40s 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.

How many Learjet 40s are there?

74 Learjet 40s are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 2002 to 2012. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.

What are the Learjet 40's specs?

As published: a maximum operating Mach of 0.81, a ceiling of 51,000 ft, a cabin 4 ft 11 in high, 5 ft 1 in wide and 2 × Honeywell TFE731-20 series engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

How fast is the Learjet 40?

Its maximum operating Mach number (the speed limit it is certified to) is 0.81. Cruise speeds depend on altitude and weight.

How high can a Learjet 40 fly?

The Learjet 40 is certified to 51,000 feet. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

How big is the Learjet 40 cabin?

4 ft 11 in high and 5 ft 1 in wide, as published.

Who owns Learjet 40s?
