Developing North American Sabreliner midsize jet aircraft began in the middle of 1955 years, with American aircraft builders originally developed aircraft exclusively for military purposes. However, due to the fact that after the first test flight of the American command was not satisfied with the flight performance of the aircraft, it was decided to start the production of these aircraft for civil aviation, where the exploitation of North American Sabreliner model is carried out up to the present time .

Aircraft North American Sabreliner has good aerodynamic shape, and is capable of traveling at a fairly high speed.

Depending on the actual use as well as the modification of the aircraft of this model, in his cabin can accommodate up to 12 people, while the aircraft itself can overcome the distance to 4020 kilometers, which in turn is more than satisfactory for civil aviation and particular sector of the airline business. If necessary, the aircraft can also carry on its board and various kinds of loads, however, in civil aviation for purposes of such aircraft North American Sabreliner not applied model.

Subsequently, when the design and flight performance of the aircraft were largely optimized American aircraft manufacturers, the US Air Force Command still expressed interest in the aircraft of this model by ordering a few hundred copies of these for various purposes without fighting purposes. The interior space of the aircraft were converted to the accommodation is a specialized electronic equipment that allowed to explore the area, to carry out work on aerial photography, interception of negotiations, etc.

Depending on the version and modification of the aircraft, the North American Sabreliner is equipped with a power plant consisting of two Pratt & Whitney J60-P-3 turbojet engines, each of which is capable of developing thrust up to 13,3 kN, which in turn provides a fairly light aircraft and high carrying capacity, and a very impressive flight speed, amounting to about 885 km / h in the limit values.
