History Bombardier Challenger 300
is a 3,100-nautical-mile (5,700 km; 3,600 mi) range super mid-sized business jet
Manufactured 2001–present
The Bombardier Challenger 300 is a 3,100-nautical-mile (5,700 km; 3,600 mi) range super mid-sized business jet designed and produced by the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace.
Development of the aircraft, originally called the Bombardier Continental, begun during the late 1990s and was formally launched at the 1999 Paris Air Show. The baseline Challenger 300 performed its maiden flight on 14 August 2001 and received its Canadian type approval on 31 May 2003; it commenced commercial operations on 8 January 2004. The majority of sales were to North American-based entities.[5] During the late 2010s, the price of the Challenger 300/350 was lowered substantially to better compete against rivals such as the Embraer Legacy 500.
Design
The Bombardier Challenger 300 is a super mid-sized business jet. It is capable of flying across the continental United States in a single hop; specifically, the aircraft is able to climb to FL410 within 18 minutes with a 455 kg (1,003 lb) fuel burn at MTOW/ISA, where at a 14,330 kg (31,590 lb) weight it burns 680 kg (1,500 lb)/h at Mach 0.8/445 kn (824 km/h) tas, 875 kg (1,929 lb)/h at Mach 0.83/465 kn (861 km/h) tas
Development
Challenger 300
During the late 1990s, Bombardier Aerospace decided to embark on the development of a super mid-sized business jet that would be positioned between its existing Learjet 60 and the Challenger 604. Market research had reportedly indicated that in excess of 1,000 new generation super mid-size business jets would be sold by 2012 and the company forecast that the new aircraft could secure one-third of this market. Early on, it was sized to accommodate eight passenger as well as to cover a distance of 5,740km (3,100nm) while cruising at a speed of Mach 0.8. It was a clean-sheet design, having not been developed from either the Challenger 600 or its variants
