Learjet Model 23 Original Configuration

[Mark Nankivil]

Hi All -

Yesterday we picked up a sizable aviation collection for our Museum and in the collection, there was a brochure for the Learjet Model 23 which originally was configured to have a low set, well maybe a mid set, tailplane. Sure looks different than what metal was actually cut for.

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Splendid!

From "Der Flieger", August 1962, an internal arrangement drawing and
a perspective drawing.

Nice find. The tail design makes sense, considering it was influenced by the Swiss P.16 IIRC.

Plus you HAD to be Swiss to imagine such corny window shapes! ;D
