Bombardier Challenger 605 Development & Background
The Challenger lineage began in the late 1970s with the Canadair Challenger 600, which pioneered the concept of a wide-body business jet. Its success prompted Bombardier (which acquired Canadair in 1986) to refine and expand the design through the Challenger 601 and 604, improving range, performance, and reliability.
By 2006, Bombardier’s goal was to modernize this proven platform to meet contemporary demands for comfort, avionics, and efficiency. The result was the Challenger 605, which maintained the same GE CF34-3B engines and trusted airframe as the 604 but introduced a new cockpit, improved aerodynamics, and a completely redesigned interior.
The 605 thus combined time-tested reliability with new-generation technology—a move that preserved the Challenger’s legacy while positioning it for a new era of private and corporate aviation.
