Bombardier's newest business jet, the Challenger 3500, has earned the distinction “Red Dot: Best of the Best” in the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2022.

The Red Dot: Best of the Best is awarded for ground-breaking design and is the highest award in the competition, reserved for the best products in a given category. The award is a testament to Bombardier's successful Challenger platform and is representative of the company's innovative spirit and approach to continuous improvement. The Challenger 3500 business jet was recognised as Red Dot: Best of the Best in the Trains and Planes category.

“Bombardier's design teams are true masters of their craft, and I am proud that their work on the Challenger 3500 jet was recognised by the Red Dot jury for belonging to the best in its category,” enthuses Éric Martel, president and ceo, Bombardier. “The Challenger aircraft platform has always delivered impressive performance, consistent reliability and a smooth ride, and I'm thrilled that the new interior design and technological features elevating the aircraft's cabin experience have been acknowledged by this prestigious award.”

The Challenger 3500 has a redesigned interior with intelligent and sustainably-minded cabin features crafted to combine comfort with function. Nuage seats are included in the aircraft's standard configuration, which Bombardier says is the first time a seat of this calibre is available in the super mid-size segment.

In addition to its sustainability signature, the Challenger 3500 aircraft also introduces new and innovative technological features, such as the industry's first voice-controlled cabin to manage lighting, temperature and entertainment systems, wireless chargers throughout the cabin and the only 24-inch and only 4K display in its class.

This year's Red Dot Award winners will be celebrated during an award ceremony on June 20 in Essen, Germany.
