Overview
Program history
The 35A refined Learjet’s successful move from turbojets to turbofans. It retained the Model 35’s cabin class and recognizable layout while developing the approved aircraft configuration for longer missions. Its adoption as the basis of the C-21A illustrates the design’s appeal beyond private business travel, although military equipment and seating differ from civil examples.
