Bombardier Challenger 605
The Challenger 605 is the fifth iteration of the Model 600 with more than 260 units delivered. It’s not a new model but rather the marketing designation for Challenger 604 serial number 5700 and subsequent aircraft that incorporate avionics, cabin window and aft fuselage modifications. Avionics include Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 with four large flat-panel displays. It retains its predecessor’s General Electric CF34-3B turbofans, along with systems and components adapted from the rugged CRJ200 regional jets.
Compared to earlier Challenger 604 aircraft, the Challenger 605 has been upgraded with longer and lower cabin windows with considerably larger window reveals, more-space-efficient interior wall panels that increase usable headroom and width for passengers, sturdier worktables, better LED cabin lighting and a new cabin management system. The galley has been redesigned for better ergonomics and more storage space, the lavatory is more comfortable, and new acoustical insulation reduces interior noise.
Three standard cabin configurations are offered, all with a forward galley, forward, four-chair club section and a four-place, side-facing divan in the aft cabin, in addition to custom configurations. Seating for up to 12 is available.
