The Bombardier Challenger 601 replaced the Challenger 600 addressing its predecessor’s weight problems and receiving new upgraded engines. It provides the same roomy, wide-body cabin and comfortably seats about ten passengers, with alternate configurations for up to 19. The spacious Challenger 601 cabin can be equipped with such amenities as DVD and entertainment systems, an air-to-ground telephone, and laptop connections. An enclosed lavatory and a large galley are standard.
Two General Electric CF34 engines were used for the Challenger 601. Variants of the 601 used General Electric CF43-1A engines. Winglets which may be retrofitted to earlier Challenger 600s come standard on the 601. Successors to the 601 include the 601-1A with updated engines, the 601-3A which introduced an EFIS glass cockpit, and the 601-3R (or 601-3A/ER) with higher weights and greater range via a tailcone fuel tank. Many of these aircraft are capable of transcontinental range.
