Bombardier BD-100 Challenger 350

The Bombardier Challenger 350 is an updated, re-engined version of the original Challenger 300, with a lighter wing, new avionics, and more efficient engines. It became one of the best-selling super-midsize business jets in the world, prized by corporate flight departments and charter operators for its blend of range, comfort, and reliability. Its wide cabin cross-section, inherited from the original Challenger 300, gives passengers noticeably more room than rival jets of similar range. Its continued strong sales cemented the Challenger name as a dominant force in the super-midsize segment.
