Challenger 3500 īombardier unveiled the Challenger 3500 at an event in Montreal on Septemwhich builds on the Challenger 300/350. It is able to carry eight passengers over a 3,200 nmi / 5,926 km range at a Mach 0.80 (459 kn, 849 km/h) long-range cruise. The avionics include four Adaptive LCD Displays, Dual FMS with LPV and RNP approaches capability, SVS, a MultiScan, Weather Radar, Dual IRS, dual SBAS GPS, integrated EFIS and dual VHF and HF radios. īombardier maintenance program runs $277 per hour and inspection intervals are at 600 hr. Ĭanted winglets have a less acute angle that reduces transonic drag and enlarge the span by 5.2 ft (1.6 m), increasing wing area and aspect ratio.Īt a weight of 30,200 lb (13,700 kg) it cruises at Mach 0.80 / 455 kn (843 km/h) TAS and is advertised as burning 1,535 lb (696 kg) per hour. Hot-section modifications and a FADEC push gave the Honeywell HTF7350 7.3% more takeoff thrust at 7,323 lbf (32.57 kN) with the same flat rating, durability and reliability.Ī strengthened wing with canted winglets and more span allows for 900 lb (410 kg) more full fuel payload. In 2018, 60 Challenger 350s were delivered as Bombardier claims a 58% market share of the super mid-size segment, and the 300th delivery was reached in July 2019, after five years of service. It received its type certification from Transport Canada on June 11, 2014, from the FAA on June 25 and from the EASA on September 2. Its launch customer, NetJets, ordered 75 firm and 125 options. Combined with a more luxurious interior and 20% taller cabin windows, it costs $1 million more at $25.9 million. The improved variant first flew on March 2, 2013, was unveiled at the next May EBACE and was due to enter service in May 2014. The 350's main external difference is its canted winglets The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics include four LCD displays, an EICAS and Maintenance Diagnostics Computer, an EGPWS, a TCAS II and an ELT. Outboard ailerons are manually actuated, elevators and rudder are hydraulic with a mechanical backup, fly-by-wire spoilers augment roll control, act as speedbrakes and dump lift on the ground, hydraulic single-slotted fowler flap have four positions: 0/10/20/30°. The fuselage and the wing are semi-monocoque aluminum structures, the winglets are composite. In 2004, the unit cost of the Challenger 300 was US$17.4 million. Its supercritical wings have a fixed leading-edge and a 27% sweep angle, its 1.15 m (3.8 ft) winglets reduce cruise lift-induced drag by 17%. The new design is not developed from the Challenger 600 or its variants. Assembled in Wichita, Kansas, it entered commercial service on 8 January 2004 with Flexjet. An all-new design, it received Transport Canada type approval on, followed on 4 June by US FAR 25 certification and on 31 July by European JAR 25 approval. The baseline Challenger 300 was launched at the 1999 Paris Air Show as the Bombardier Continental.
