Description
Bombardier's Challenger 300 is a transcontinental range eight-seat corporate jet sitting between the company's Learjet 60 and Challenger 604/605. It is developed for a non-stop 5471km (3100nm) mission with a load of eight passengers and NBAA IFR reserves. Bombardier revealed it was developing the Continental (as it was known then) at the 1998 National Business Aircraft Association's annual convention in Las Vegas in October 1998. The program was officially launched at the Paris Air Show on June 13, 1999. The Continental was renamed Challenger 300 on September 9, 2002. The jet competes with the Hawker 4000, Citation X and Gulfstream G200, among others. Bombardier claims the Continental will offer 39% more cabin space and 20% more range "than the leading mid size business jet". It is also claimed to have a larger cabin than the intercontinental range Falcon 50 and high speed Citation X. Features of the Challenger 300 are a cockpit equipped with Collins Pro Line 21 four-tube EFIS, EICAS, TCASII, and EGPWS avionics, a standard eight place double club interior with galley and toilet, stand-up headroom, a flat floor, an auxiliary power unit and thrust reversers, all metal construction and a large area wing for good field performance.
