Information
The Challenger 300, formerly known as the Continental, is Bombardier's entry into the super-mid-sized battle for supremacy. It is a transcontinental range eight-seat corporate jet, which sits in the company's model lineup between the Learjet 60 and Challenger 600 series.
The Challenger 300’s 860-cubic-foot cabin volume provides true double-club seating for eight passengers. It has Honeywell HTF 7000 engines, giving the Continental 20 percent more range than the leading mid-size business jet and a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite.
The aircraft was certificated in 2003.
