Bombardier · Challenger 601

Bombardier designed the original Challenger 601 with the primary goal of passenger comfort.
The 601 series has improved immensely over the 600, with a more reliable flight system and increased maintainability.

 

The Challenger 601 offers much more cabin space than any similar aircraft. It is quiet, economical, and handles well. Pilots love to fly it, and passengers love the spacious, comfortable cabin and transcontinental range.

 

Except when flying against the strongest headwinds, it can cross the United States nonstop. At its top cruise speed, it flies at 459 ktas.

 

The cabin has a width of 8.2 feet and a height of 6.1 feet. It is usually configured to seat between nine and twelve passengers, but can be configured for as many as nineteen. The cabin is comfortable not only for its size, but also for its very low noise and vibration levels. There are 115 cubic feet of baggage space available in an internal compartment.
