N45KW

This entry covers airframe N45KW, a Learjet 45 built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 210. The airframe is owned and operated by SPEEDBIRD LLC, an LLC based in Fort Wayne, IN, US; the aircraft is registered in the United States and has been maintained under that registry. Valuation records list the airframe at $2,272,500, reflecting its configuration, avionics fit and typical market condition for the type. Maintenance and operational records specific to this serial are not published here beyond ownership and valuation details.

The cabin of N45KW is fitted in a typical 8‑place executive double‑club layout on a flat floor with an enclosed aft lavatory and a forward refreshment center; there is an external baggage compartment for checked luggage and equipment. Avionics are a Honeywell Primus 1000 (4‑tube) installation or a typical Primus‑based suite, which supports the airframe’s long‑range high‑speed mission profile. With a cruise speed of 464 kts and a range of 1,971 nm, the aircraft is suited to regional and transcontinental business missions operated from its Fort Wayne base by SPEEDBIRD LLC. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include standard Learjet 45 program items and engine support for the Honeywell TFE731‑20BR powerplants as configured on serial 210.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a light to midsize business jet niche characterized by high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft ceiling, offering rapid point‑to‑point executive transport. Competing models in its era typically included other light jets with similar mission profiles; buyers value the Learjet 45 for speed and altitude capability balanced against cabin size. For resale and charter demand, an airframe like N45KW benefits from its Primus‑based avionics and original configuration, but marketability is influenced by maintenance history, total time on airframe and engines, and current avionics modernization trends. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial must account for engine support programs for the Honeywell TFE731‑20BR units and the broader Learjet 45 parts and service environment.
