Introducing the latest addition to the Bombardier aircraft fleet
Last week, Bombardier announced a new aircraft to the world, which will soon join the ranks of Bombardier’s close to 5,000-strong fleet. With the launch of the new Challenger 3500 aircraft, the segment-leading Challenger platform is once again transformed, highlighting Bombardier’s innovative spirit and world-class design capabilities.
Expected to enter into service in the second half of 2022, the new Challenger 3500 aircraft is the evolution of the highly-successful Challenger 350 platform, bringing impressive new features that raise the bar for business aviation.
The Challenger 3500 aircraft introduces the industry’s first voice-controlled cabin to manage lighting, temperature and entertainment systems, the first wireless chargers throughout the cabin and the only 24-inch, 4K display in its class. In the cockpit, we’ve added a standard-equipped autothrottle system to the Challenger 3500 flight deck, which offers the most baseline features in its class.
Sustainability is an important part of everything we do at Bombardier and this new aircraft reflects this commitment. Following the lead of our industry-defining Global 7500 aircraft – the first business jet ever to receive an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) – the new Challenger 3500 aircraft will be the first business jet in the super mid-size segment to have an EPD.
Other environmentally-conscious initiatives include the option for customers to choose from a selection of high-end sustainable materials for the cabin. And we’ve also introduced the first eco app in business aviation – a tool that has been designed to specifically optimize flight plans and reduce fuel burn, further decreasing the aircraft’s environmental footprint.
We are thrilled to showcase this incredible aircraft mock-up to you, so please visit us at NBAA-BACE 2021 on Oct. 12-14 in Las Vegas, NV to learn more – and experience first-hand Bombardier’s innovative spirit and ingenuity!
Sincerely,
Jean-Christophe Gallagher
