Bombardier Challenger 300

Name: Bombardier Challenger 300
Brand: Bombardier

The Challenger 300 was a clean-sheet design that created the modern super-midsize segment when it entered service in 2004, pairing a stand-up flat-floor cabin with 3,100 nm of coast-to-coast range. About 450 were built, and its robust HTF7000 engines and simple systems make it one of the most economical jets in its class to operate.

In short: The Bombardier Challenger 300 is a Super-Midsize Jet with a range of 3,100 nm, a cruise speed of 470 knots and room for 8 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $7M–$13M and costs roughly $3,100 an hour to operate (estimate).
