Bombardier Challenger 650
Introduced in 2014, the Challenger 650 upgrades the storied Challenger 605 with several features that were first introduced in Bombardier's flagship Global line. These include a completely redesigned cabin sporting one of the most advanced cabin management systems in the industry - Lufthansa Technik's NICE system - and the manufacturer's proprietary Vision flight deck based on the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Enhanced avionics package. The Challenger 650's enhanced GE CF34-3B MTO engines also offer 5% more thrust available for takeoff from shorter field lengths, or in "hot-and-high" conditions. In total, approximately 1,600 Bombardier Challenger aircraft are in service, and the fleet has logged 7.3 million hours over 4.3 million flights.
