The Challenger 650 is the latest evolution of the wide-body Challenger 600 lineage that dates to 1980, adding the Vision flight deck, uprated CF34-3B MTO engines and a fully redesigned cabin. Its 8.2 ft cabin width is the broadest in the large class, and the type is widely used for VIP, medevac and government missions.
