Formerly known as the Global Express XRS, in 2011 Bombardier renamed its flagship ultra-long range jet as the Global 6000 to bring its naming convention in line with the rest of the Global family (the model number represents its approximate nautical mile range) and to mark the debut of the Global Vision cockpit and new interior enhancements. The Global 6000’s range allows non-stop flights between London and Tokyo, Los Angeles and Moscow, and New York and Kuwait with eight passengers and four crewmembers enjoying the ultimate in onboard comfort and aircraft capability, with the spacious cabin offering the largest and

Scheduled to enter service in 2018, the Bombardier Global 7000 private jet will feature an 11 ft 3 in stretch over the Global 6000’s fuselage and a true, four-zone cabin offering 20 percent greater cabin volume than the current model. The Global 7000 is slated to have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90 and a range of 7,300 nm, enabled by the next-generation General Electric Passport engines to deliver efficiency and emissions advantages, expected to show reduced NOx emissions and an eight per cent increase in overall fuel efficiency when compared to the industry leading Global Express XRS aircraft.

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
Introduced in 2006 as an upgrade to the highly-capable Challenger 604, the Challenger 605 private jet offers several upgrades to the 604, including larger cabin windows that greatly enhance the sense of roominess inside the widest passenger cabin in the super-midsize class. The Challenger 605 is capable of a top speed of 470 knots, and has a maximum range of 4,000 nautical miles at 424 knots. With a cabin length of 25 feet, 7 inches, it can accommodate 10 passengers in a standard configuration that offers luxurious, stretch-out room for everyone onboard. The Challenger 605 also features updated flight deck
Certified for civil operation in 30 countries, since 1995 the Bombardier Challenger 604 has established a proven track record for dependability, reliability and outstanding value. Two revised General Electric CF34-3B engines, each rated at 8,729 lbs of thrust, offer a significant performance boost over the Challenger 601, providing nonstop trip legs for eight passengers across 3,850 nautical miles at .74 Mach; nonstop trips more than 4,000 nautical miles are possible by throttling back to 424 knots. Offering the widest cabin of any true business jet available today, stand-up room of over six feet and a passive noise insulation system, the
Introduced in 1983, the Challenger 601 took all the positive attributes of the original Challenger 600 – notably it’s wide, walk-around cabin and incredibly robust airframe – and replaced the earlier aircraft’s Avro Lycoming engines with two modern General Electric CF43-1A turbofan engines designed for high-utilization commercial airline service. Combined with an improved flight control system and drag-reducing winglets, these enhancements mean the Challenger 601 is well-suited for frequent cross-country trips under rigorous conditions. Later variants within the 601 line include such desirable features as additional fuel capacity in a tail-mounted tank, and further aerodynamic and performance improvements that give
The original Challenger that spurred a family of private aircraft billed as the best-selling business jet platform of the last decade, the Bombardier Challenger 600 began life as a proof-of-concept business aircraft design from American aircraft pioneer Bill Lear that featured a widened fuselage allowing a walk-about cabin, and a supercritical wing offering impressive climb and cruise performance at lower thrust settings. The design was subsequently purchased by Canadair, the predecessor to Bombardier, in the late 1970s. Canadair further refined the design and certified the aircraft in 1980. Rating: 3 Reviews: 9
