Challenger 850
For a larger aircraft, the Challenger 850 ELR still compares with smaller, faster business jets in regards to performance. The 850 can travel at .85 Mach and reach a certified flight ceiling of 41,000 feet. During climb, it takes a relatively quick 32 minutes to reach 37,000 feet. Its maximum takeoff weight is 53,000 lbs. One item that remains intact from the large, airliner predecessor is the ELR’s roomy cabin. With the same interior dimensions, the high-capacity jet offers plenty of room for up to 16 passengers but 12 is standard. The interior measures 48.4 feet long, 8.2 feet wide and 6.1 feet high (stand-up, of course). The ELR is usually divided in three compartments and seats three across. There is a generous aft and a galley complete with a microwave, convection oven and refrigerator. The Challenger 850 ELR is fully capable of accommodating a large group, compared to most executive aircraft, and in true comfort. The Challenger 850 is unique in that it originated from an airliner. It is an ideal executive jet for larger capacity travel, maintaining the spatial components of the airliner. However, the real appeal is that the 850 performs similar to a smaller, faster business jet, even with its superior accommodations. A redesign allows the aircraft to complete long-range travel efficiently. It is the perfect investment for a big company.
