The JetStar has a fairly typical business jet design layout, with a [[swept wing]] and a [[cruciform tail]]. The wing has a 30° sweepback and features large fuel tanks at about half-span, extending some distance in front and behind the wing. The wings hold {{convert|10000|lb|kg}} of fuel, and each slipper tank holds {{convert|4000|lb|kg}} of fuel for a total fuel load of {{convert|18000|lb|kg}}. The wing also includes leading edge flaps (not slats) along the front of the wing outboard of the tanks (these leading edge flaps reduce the stalling speed by an additional three knots), while double-slotted trailing edge [[flap (aircraft)|flaps]] span the entire rear surface inboard of the [[ailerons]]. The wing incorporates inflatable rubber deicing boots for the removal of ice accumulated in flight. The [[horizontal stabilizer]] is mounted nearly halfway up the [[Vertical stabilizer|fin]] to keep it clear of the engines' jet blast. One feature is that the horizontal stabilizer is [[Stabilizer (aeronautics)|trimmable]] by pivoting the entire tail fin and stabilizer assembly, which has a distinctive unpainted area at the base of the fin that is noticeable in most pictures. The JetStar does not have any tail deicing capability, nor was it required for certification. A speed brake is located on the underside of the fuselage to aid deceleration for landing. The original prototypes used a tricycle landing gear with one wheel per leg, but after an accident in 1962 the nose gear was modified with two tires.<ref name=rbog />

The JetStar is a relatively heavy aircraft for its class, at {{convert|44500|lb|kg}}. Maximum cruising speed is Mach&nbsp;0.8, or {{convert|567|mph|kph}} at {{convert|21000|ft|m}}. Range is typically quoted as {{convert|2500|mi|km}} with a {{convert|3500|lb|kg|adj=on}} payload. Typically, interiors feature seating for eight with a full-sized lavatory, or a slightly denser arrangement for ten. The JetStar is one of the few aircraft of its class which allow a person to walk upright in the cabin, although to do this the aisle is sunk slightly so that the seats are raised on either side.<ref name=nasa>{{cite web|last1=Loftin|first1=Laurence K.|title=Representative Aircraft Types|url=http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-468/ch14-3.htm|website=NASA|access-date=16 January 2016|archive-date=29 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141029121813/http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-468/ch14-3.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> The windows are relatively large.
