The Age of Learjet
Adventures, Innovations, and Sky-High Dreams
The Early Days of Jet Travel Were Crazy
Plane crashes left investigators with little more than Lear Jet-sized craters to work with. That is, until one surviving pilot exposed a frightening trend in the infant private jet industry.
Imagine you are a pilot in the early days of jet travel climbing into what looks like a fighter jet. You might be tempted to fly it like one. Well, where there is demand, supply often follows.
Some creative geniuses developed “go-fast” switches. These switches disabled the safety systems designed to prevent the jet from reaching speeds where its powerful engines would tear it apart. Pilots installed them and paid the price.
