Bombardier Challenger 300 Development and Background

The Bombardier Challenger 300 was certified by the FAA and Transport Canada in 2003, with Bombardier looking to fill the gap between the Learjet series and the flagship long-range Bombardier Challenger 604/605. During previous reports, market research showed that super mid-size business jets will be sold in excess of over a 1,000 units, and Bombardier made sure they were ready to at least capture ⅓ of the market.

The fundamentals of the super-midsize was set: seating for at least eight passengers, coast-to-coast capability, speed at least Mach 0.8, and a fresh design rather than the earlier Challenger 600/604 series.

The design started off as a clean sheet, with the design being unique in Bombardier’s lineup. The wings and aerodynamics were optimized for trans-continental performance combined with good runway/field performance. This allows the use of runways less than 5,000ft while offering true-coast-to-coast capability. Engineers also provided two Honeywell AS907 turbofan engines, each rated around 6,800-8,000 lbs of thrust, depending on the configuration. To ease pilot workload and lower operating costs, FADEC was installed into the engines.

With over 400 delivered since inception and a dispatch reliability rate of 99.8%, the Challenger 300 was a proven success for Bombardier Aerospace.

When Bombardier created the Challenger 300, they were aware travelers would desire a spacious and opulent cabin for their coast-to-coast travel. Bombardier provided a stand-up cabin with a 6 '1 feet headroom and a flat-floor cabin. A fully enclosed aft-lavatory is equipped with a galley in the front with refreshments. Passengers will be seated in a double-club seating configuration with a passenger capacity of 8-9 in standard configuration, with 10 passengers the lavatory seat is used. As you are in the air, enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, on-board entertainment, and multiple power outlets which allows productivity in your journey. A 106 cubic feet baggage compartment accessible by the aft-lavatory allows you to carry multiple suit cases, luggages, golf, and ski bags.

Bombardier Challenger 300 Performance & Capabilities

Bombardier decided to use the Honeywell HTF7000 turbofan engines that each provide 6,826 lbs of thrust, while ensuring a powerful takeoff performance and efficient long-range cruise. The fixed-leading-edge wings help increase fuel efficiency, while the composite manufactured winglets help reduce in-flight lift-induced drag by over 10%. These factors allow a transcontinental range of 3,100nm, a max cruise speed of 459 KTAS, and a max service ceiling of 45,000ft.

The aircraft also has an impressive short-field capability. With a takeoff distance of 4,800ft, and a landing distance of almost half that, the Challenger 300’s performance allows you to fly passengers closer to their destinations.

Pilots are provided with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite which improves pilot situational awareness, which ensures you’ll arrive at your destination safely.
