The Bombardier Challenger 600 series was first produced by Canadair as an independent company, having purchased the concept from US inventor Bill Lear, and then from 1986 as a division of Bombardier Aerospace.
The twin turbofan large-cabin business jet has a very wide cabin. It also has a supercritical wing, four backup power systems, thrust reversers and APU.
A prototype first flew on 8 November, 1978, and the second and third prototypes flew in 1979.
Both Transport Canada and the FAA certified the aircraft in 1980, albeit with restrictions to pilots including a limited maximum take off weight. A programme to reduce the aircraft's weight was then implemented to improve its range.
The original production version was powered by two Avco Lycoming ALF 502L turbofans of 7500 lbf thrust each. These were modified to add supercharger stages to the low-pressure compressor, enabling more than 7,500 lbs of thrust on take off.
Deliveries ceased in 1985, after 83 aircraft had rolled off the production line.
