Recognition (WEFT)

W — Wings	Low-mounted, swept
E — Engines	2 × turbofan, fuselage-mounted
F — Fuselage	Rear-fuselage twin turbofans
T — Tail	T-tail

WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.

Spot it by:

Rear-fuselage twin turbofans
Winglets
T-tail

Recognise it by the slim swept wing with canted winglets, the two engines mounted on the rear fuselage and the T-tail. The needle-like nose and compact cabin retain the unmistakable Learjet look.

History

First flown in 2012 and certified in 2013, the Learjet 75 updated the Learjet 45 with new winglets, more efficient Honeywell engines and a modern flight deck. It was among the final models built before Bombardier ended Learjet production in 2022.

Variants

The principal versions are the standard Learjet 75 and the later Learjet 75 Liberty, a value-oriented model with an executive-suite cabin layout. Both share the same swept-wing, T-tail airframe.

Where you'll see it

In the UK the Learjet 75 operates from business-aviation airports such as Farnborough, Biggin Hill and London City for charter and corporate use. Its high cruise speed suits time-critical European business travel.
