Bombardier ‘Challenger 850’ Business Jet Another model in Bombardier’s business jet range is the ‘Challenger 805’. The 805 provides a brisk cruising speed of above MACH 0.80 to shuttle you to your trans-continental destination. The Challenger 805 has a general range of about 2,811 nautical miles and a maximum range of 3,044 nautical miles. The airframe has been proven with well over six million hours of solid service. Twin turbofans (GE CF34 3B1) will get you from the west coast to the east coast of the U.S with no problem. Flying high to a maximum ceiling of 41,000-feet, it’s not as high as many other business jets offer but it is comfortable enough. Those turbofans can push out 8,729 pounds of thrust at take off. The avionics suite is described as an ergonomic all-glass setup (Collins Pro Line 4) aimed at reducing the pilot’s workload. To date this aircraft model is in operation all over the world in 30+ countries. The Challenger 805 bears certification by the FAA, Transport Canada, and JAA.
