The Learjet 45 is a mid-size business jet produced by the Learjet Division of Bombardier Aerospace. As Learjet's first clean-sheet design since the original Learjet 23, it was the division's principal product from the 1990s until the Model 75 arrived in 2012, through four main variants: the Model 45, the 45XR, the Model 40 and the 40XR. Development began in 1989 and Bombardier announced the aircraft in September 1992; the prototype first flew on 7 October 1995, the 32nd anniversary of the first flight of the Learjet 23. FAA certification was granted in September 1997, and the first customer aircraft was delivered in mid-1998. It is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-20 turbofan engines and was built to FAR Part 25 transport category rules, which made its development take substantially longer than that of earlier Learjets.
