The Learjet 70/75 is a Learjet development program by Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace. The light business jet is being developed in anticipation of business aircraft recovery predicted by Bombardier.[2] These models feature new avionics, winglets and powerful engines that use less fuel.[2]

The airframe is based on the Learjet 40 and 45 models with modifications to improve performance. Canted winglet design was incorporated from the Bombardier Global 7000/8000.[3] The Learjet 75 received its type certificate from the FAA on 14 November 2013 and deliveries began shortly thereafter.[4][5] This delay in certification caused Bombardier's overall deliveries to fall below expectations and cancellations of aircraft orders.[6]
