Introduction

Bombardier introduced the Challenger 350 in 2014. The midsize business jet has since become a mainstay within the industry. The Challenger 350 has room for 9 passengers and can reach over 3,000 Nautical Miles.

Bombardier created the Challenger 350 to compete with various other midsize jets, and they’ve created an aircraft that does just that! Powered by the Honeywell HTF7350, the Challenger 350 gets you where you need to go without compromising speed or comfort.

Flying in Comfort

Boasting the widest cabin in its class, Bombardier prides itself on maximizing the creature comforts of its cabins without losing style along the way. The Challenger 350 accomplishes this by offering a multitude of cabin configurations, allowing owners to choose what suits their needs.

The Challenger 350 has a cabin height of six feet, which is standard in its class. Along with comfortable seating and ample space, Bombardier equips the Challenger 350 with a fully integrated entertainment system.

Various speakers along the fuselage allow high-tech audio to reach passengers, regardless of the configuration. As expected, the Challenger 350 also has various controls integrated throughout for temperature and media control.

Far and Fast

The Challenger 350 has an operating range of up to 45,000 feet. This gives the Challenger 350 the ability to travel great distances, both fast and efficiently. New York to London is easily doable in the Challenger 350.

This incredible range is provided by Honeywell HTF7350 engines. These engines also provide enough thrust for the Challenger 350 to cruise at Mach .82, or nearly 630 mph.

Conclusion

The performance of the Challenger 350 sets itself apart from its competitors. There aren't many midsize jets that can carry up to 9 passengers 3,200 nautical miles at speeds of Mach .82 or greater. For this reason, the Challenger 350 is highly sought after.
