The Learjet 24, a pioneering business jet that established the executive aviation market, became the first business aircraft certified under FAR-25 transport category standards. First flown on January 24, 1966, it was a low-wing twin-engine turbojet that could seat six to eight occupants in executive configuration. Spanning a production run from 1966 to 1977, this 13,500-pound aircraft achieved remarkable performance including a celebrated around-the-world flight in under 51 hours. The aircraft was manufactured by Learjet Corporation, later Gates Learjet Corporation.
