Bombardier's all new Challenger 300 was the first for Bombardier in the Supermid sized jet category. It is a transcontinental, eight-seat corporate jet and can travel 3,100 nm non-stop.
The private jet was officially launched in 1999 and competed for the Supermid sized corporate jet market in 2012 with the Hawker Horizon and Citation X, among others. Bombardier claims the Challenger 300 offers 39% more cabin space and 20% more range than the leading mid size business jets. It is also claimed to have a larger cabin than the Falcon 50 and Citation X.
The Challenger 300 fuselage standard configuration includes an eight place double club interior with galley and toilet, stand-up headroom, a flat floor and an auxiliary power unit.
The Challenger 300 is manufactured with a mix of light-alloy and composites used for some non-structural items for better performance and fuel economy.
