Challenger 300

Large jet

The Challenger 300 is the clean-sheet large jet, defined by its true transcontinental range and a unique flat-floor, stand-up cabin. It pairs long-haul comfort and efficiency with excellent short-field access, offering a best-in-class executive experience.

Clean-Sheet Design and Transcontinental Range

Overview

The Bombardier Challenger 300, certified in 2003 and delivered in 2004, is the revolutionary clean-sheet design credited with defining the Super Midsize Jet category, blending the performance of a heavy jet with midsize efficiency. Its forward-thinking engineering provides two defining structural advantages: a spacious, wide fuselage that offers 6,1 feet of stand-up headroom and, crucially, a flat floor throughout the nearly 28-foot cabin, maximizing usable volume and passenger mobility. The jet is engineered for long-haul capability, powered by efficient, FADEC-controlled Honeywell HTF7000 turbofans, enabling a true transcontinental range of over 3,100 nautical miles and a high cruise speed of Mach 0.82. Furthermore, the flight deck features the modern Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, providing the crew with a fully integrated digital environment. Despite its long-haul capability, the Challenger 300 maintains excellent short-field performance, offering a high standard of utility and operational flexibility for a jet of its size.

Flat Floor and Stand-Up Space

Luxury interior

The Challenger 300 cabin was designed from the inside out to define the Super Midsize category. Its clean-sheet design features a wide cross-section, genuine stand-up headroom, and a continuous flat floor, providing a spacious and inviting executive office for transcontinental travel.

Seamless Mobility

A continuous flat floor runs the entire length of the cabin. This structural design maximizes usable space, enhances mobility, and ensures a stable, ergonomic experience throughout the 28-foot interior.

Generous Stand-Up Volume

The spacious cabin boasts 6,1 feet of headroom and a 7,2 feet in width. This generous volume allows passengers to move freely and comfortably, rivaling the space of much larger jets.

In-Flight Accessible Storage

The Challenger 300 offers 106 cubic feet of external baggage space. This large compartment is reachable through the fully enclosed lavatory during flight for unmatched convenience and utility.

Aerodynamic Mastery and System Dependability

Key feature

The Challenger 300 was designed from scratch to deliver the highest level of performance assurance. These two defining features ensure the aircraft operates with superior efficiency, structural integrity, and exceptional reliability across the entire transcontinental flight envelope.

The Advanced Supercritical Wing

Performance & Technical Excellence

The Challenger 300’s efficient, high-speed performance is the result of clean-sheet aerodynamic engineering.The aircraft features an advanced supercritical wing optimized for high cruise speeds (up to Mach 0.82) and efficient operation over long distances.This sophisticated wing design maximizes lift while minimizing drag at high Mach numbers, translating directly to superior fuel efficiency and extended range capability. Furthermore, the wing design contributes significantly to the aircraft’s acclaimed excellent short-field performance, ensuring it can maintain short takeoff and landing distances despite its heavy transcontinental fuel load. This aerodynamic mastery guarantees not only a fast flight but also a smoother, more stable ride, establishing the Challenger 300 as a benchmark for flight quality and structural integrity in the super midsize category.

Clean-Sheet Design and FADEC Assurance

Safety & Operational Advantage

The Challenger 300 is renowned for its industry-leading dispatch reliability, a direct result of its modern systems foundation.The jet was built as a clean-sheet design with high redundancy, and its Honeywell HTF7000 engines are equipped with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC).FADEC provides crucial digital assurance by continuously monitoring and optimizing engine performance, guarding against operational limits and reducing pilot workload. This level of system integration minimizes the risk of mechanical or human error, which is why the Challenger 300 consistently achieves superior reliability metrics compared to older midsize jets. The robust design and FADEC control ensure the aircraft maintains maximum mission readiness and reduces the likelihood of maintenance-related delays, providing customers with total confidence in their schedule and safety across their transcontinental itinerary.
