The Learjet 85 was a Learjet development programme by Bombardier Aerospace, launched on 30 October 2007 with a mockup shown at the NBAA show in Orlando in October 2008. It was to fit between the midsize and super-midsize segments, was designed for FAR-25 certification, and was the first Bombardier Aerospace business jet with a composite structure, using wing technology similar to the CSeries. Intended performance was a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.82 and a transcontinental range of up to 3,000 nautical miles, from two Pratt and Whitney PW307B turbofans. Nearly 60 orders were reported at US$17.2 million. The first test flight was on 9 April 2014, the programme was suspended in January 2015 with 1,000 jobs cut, and it was cancelled in October 2015 so the company could concentrate on the CSeries and the Global 7000/8000.
