The sizable Challenger 604 has become the world's best-selling large corporate jet due to its mission versatility, supreme comfort, and cost efficiency of smaller jets. Featured with one of the widest and quietest cabins in its class, the Challenger 604 provides an ideal ambiance for in-flight business meetings. It typically accommodates 9-12 passengers, depending on its seating configuration. This impressive jet has transcontinental range for non-stop coast-to-coast trips, with frequent flights including Los Angeles to Miami or New York to London. The aircraft provides a 4,077nm range (7,551km) with non-stop connection for London to Chicago, Riyadh to Paris and other key city pairs.
FLIGHT DECK
The flight deck features dual controls for the pilot and co-pilot.
The avionics suite is based on a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 integrated system with a six-tube (184mm x 184mm) Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS), a dual-channel autopilot and flight director, a dual flight management system and a digital automatic flight control system. The pilot's communications suite includes dual VHF and HF radios, dual air traffic control transponders and a cockpit voice recorder. The aircraft is certified for Cat II operations.
The TWR-854 colour digital weather radar provides turbulence protection. The aircraft's navigation systems include a dual Northrop Grumman (Litton) LTN-101 laser inertial reference system, dual VHF navigation, a dual-distance measuring system and a dual automatic direction finder.
Bombardier is offering an avionics upgrade, the Rockwell Collins PrecisionPlus, for the 604. PrecisionPlus enhances the Pro Line 4 and features automation of Vspeed calculation and thrust setting as primary information and three-dimensional display of the aircraft’s flight plan. This is coupled with a new enhanced auto-throttle system. This system is now installed on all production aircraft and can be retrofitted.
CABIN
The flight deck, cabin and baggage compartment are pressurized and air-conditioned. An active noise vibration control system developed by Ultra Electronics can be installed.
The 19 square meter cabin can be configured with up to nine business-class seats. Alternatively higher-density seating can be installed for up to 19 passengers. The cabin interior is installed to meet the customer's requirements.
Bombardier is offering an optional improved extended interior cabin configuration that adds two windows to the seating area and extends its length by 0.5m.
SAFETY SYSTEMS
The windscreen and side windows of the flight deck are fitted with electrical anti-icing. A Hamilton Sundstrand bleed air system provides anti-icing to the wing leading edges, the engine air intake cowls and the guide vanes.
Fire detectors and a dual-action fire extinguishing system are installed in the engine nacelles. Fire detectors and extinguishers are also installed in the auxiliary power unit.
ENGINES
The aircraft has two General Electric CF34-3B turbofan engines each providing 38.84kN (8,729lbs) thrust at take-off. The engine nacelles from Bombardier Aerospace, Belfast, are mounted on pylons on the rear of the fuselage. The engines are fitted with cascade fan-air thrust reversers.
"The Challenger 604 has two General Electric CF34-3B turbofan engines."
The fuel tanks can be augmented by auxiliary tanks bringing the maximum fuel load to 9,072kg. The aircraft has pressure and gravity refueling points.
The aircraft has two 30kVA generators supplying the three-phase 115/200V AC primary power. The DC supply comes from four transformer rectifiers and a primary and secondary battery.
A Honeywell GTCP-100E gas turbine auxiliary power unit provides the power for engine starting and ground air conditioning.
LANDING GEAR
The Challenger has retractable twin-wheel tricycle type landing gear. Each unit is fitted with Dowty shock absorbers. The wheels are fitted with Aircraft Braking Systems multi-disc anti-skid carbon brakes.
