The Xtreme Prototypes 20 Series for Flight Simulator X is inspired from a series of aircraft known in the 1970's as the Gates Learjet 24, 25 and 28. It contains six variations of the legendary business jets:

    * Two variations of Model 24 (fictitious tail numbers XP-241 and XP-242)
    * Two variations of Model 25 (fictitious tail numbers XP-251 and XP-252)
    * Two variations of Model 28 (fictitious tail numbers XP-281 and XP-282)


Retaining the time-defying design of the original Model 23, Model 24 brought airline-style systems redundancy and increased performance and safety. Epitomizing the private jet and often dubbed "Pocket Rocket" or "Fighter in civilian clothing", Model 24 flew above the weather and higher than most airliners, making its pilots and passengers members of a rather exclusive club.

With Model 25 came a longer cabin, increased seating capacity and more flexible loading options, not to mention a rather sleek-looking stretched fuselage. The Model 25's shape became synonymous with flying coolness. Improved versions of the power plant gave the Model 25 yet another increase in performance.

Model 28 featured new winglets in place of the previous tip-tanks. This new aerodynamic technology afforded a dramatic reduction in induced drag which in turn increased the aircraft's potential range by reducing fuel consumption. Model 28 is the ultimate development of the straight-turbojet powered business jet and still holds quite a few FAI records to this date.
