Where Did the Learjet Line Begin?

Learjet was one of the first companies to manufacture a private, luxury aircraft. The founder, Bill Lear’s preliminary design was based upon an experimental American military aircraft known as the Marvel, substituting fuselage-mounted turbojet engines for ducted fan turboshaft engines. That preliminary design was abandoned in favor of the final Learjet design adapted from an experimental 1950s Swiss ground-attack fighter aircraft, the FFA P-16.
