Bombardier Challenger 3500
The Bombardier Challenger 3500, introduced in 2022 and winner of the Red Dot "Best of the Best" award, is the pioneering model of the super-midsize category. As the enhanced version of the Challenger 350 platform, it incorporates numerous innovations in business aviation.
Cabin Technology
The Challenger 3500 offers the first voice-controlled cabin in business aviation. Lighting, shade control, temperature adjustment, and entertainment system can be managed through voice commands.
The patented Nuage seats represent the most comprehensive innovation in business jet seating in over 30 years. The zero-gravity design provides superior ergonomics and comfort on long flights.
Cabin Features
The cabin measures 7.68 m (25.2 ft) in length and 2.19 m (7.2 ft) in width, accommodating up to 10 passengers. The flat-floor design enables comfortable movement within the cabin.
At 12,497 m (41,000 ft) cruise altitude, cabin pressure is maintained at 1,478 m (4,850 ft). This represents a significant improvement over the Challenger 350's 2,392 m (7,848 ft) cabin altitude. Lower cabin altitude reduces fatigue and minimizes jet lag effects on long flights.
Advanced sound insulation enables the quietest cabin environment in its class.
Performance Data
Two Honeywell HTF7350 engines produce a combined 65.2 kN (14,646 lbs) of thrust. Maximum Mach 0.83 cruise speed is achievable. The 6,300 km (3,400 nm) range capacity provides nonstop access to European and Middle Eastern destinations.
Takeoff distance is 1,474 m (4,835 ft), landing distance is 721 m (2,365 ft), enabling operations from medium-sized airports.
Flight Times

Avionics and Reliability
The Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics package features four large displays. Standard autothrottle system, optional Head-up Display, and Enhanced Vision System are available.
With 99.8% dispatch reliability, performance exceeds industry average. The Bombardier Smart Link Plus system monitors aircraft status in real-time, predicting maintenance requirements.
