Average lifespan of a business jet?
("Private" wrote)
The number of pressurizations is one factor. Something like 10,000 (that would be 10,000 pressurizations, not hours) is getting up there. I have recently flown a 737 with over 74000 cycles. Is taking off, flying up to altitude, then landing, one cycle? 10 Cycles Per Day (x) ... 10 years (3,650 days) = 36,500 cycles 20 years (x) ..10 c.p.d. = 73,000 cycles 25 years (x) ...8 c.p.d. = 73,000 cycles 40 years (x) ...5 c.p.d. = 73,000 cycles WOW!
