✈️ Lear didn't stop there. He went on to create the Learjet, changing private aviation forever. His Model 23 became the standard for luxury business travel in the 1960s.

🛩️ After joining the Navy at 16, this self-taught genius earned over 100 patents and the Collier Trophy for his automatic aircraft landing system. From car radios to private jets, Lear's innovations still touch our lives today.
