About Learjet 25D
Learjet 25D aircraft, Megawallpapers: The Learjet 25 is an ten seat (two crew and eight passengers) twin-engined, high speed executive jet. The first Model 25 flew on 12th August 1966 and the first delivery was in November 1967. The Learjet 25 is similar to the Model 24 but is 1.27 m (4 ft 2 in) longer, allowing for three additional passengers. In 1970 the Learjet 25B was produced along with the Learjet 25C in the same year. The aircraft has two General Electric CJ610-6 (or CJ610-8) turbojet engines. The landing gear is of the retractable, tricycle type with a steerable nosewheel. The aircraft usually comes with a refreshment cabinet and under the seat opposite is sometimes a toilet. Baggage is stowed in a compartment at the rear of the cabin. In 1974 the Peruvian Air Force purchased two 25B's with a belly pod that contained an aerial survey camera. Since then there have been several civilian versions sold. The cabin interior can be converted to several different configurations to allow for cargo and medevacs. The Model 25C also has an optional two bed sleeping compartment. Due to the ease of converting the cabin the Learjet 25 has found a niche as a medevac aircraft. This is achieved by removing the starboard seating to allow for a stretcher, mounting oxygen bottles and Intravenous drip equipment. The two flight crew are then supplemented by either a doctor or flight nurse or both. The aircraft, although low to the ground and equipped with small tyres, can land on gravel runways with a gravel kit fitted. It is possible for gravel from an improperly packed gravel runway to be sucked into the engines causing damage ranging from minor to severe.
The Lear 25 is a stage 2, pure jet engine. This makes it very noisy. Because of the noise the model 25 is relatively inexpensive, priced at around $500,000 United States dollars. The LearJet models 35 onward are much quieter but cost more. The ICAO designator as used in flight plans for all Learjet 25 models is LJ25.
