[Music] so [Music] it is our pleasure to welcome you to a tour of the challenger 3500 aircraft the latest addition to the challenger family this aircraft builds on the commercial and technical success of the challenger 300 series its wide cabin proven performance and rock solid dispatch reliability at an unmatched value proposition with over 800 aircraft now in service the challenger 300 series has dominated the market it has been the industry's most delivered super mid-sized jet for seven consecutive years and captures roughly sixty percent of the market share year over year this has created an enviable reputation for the aircraft having the largest fleet in the segment means operators can easily access trained flight crews technicians and parts worldwide not to mention it is a great testament to the platform's solid dispatch reliability in fact it is the aircraft of choice for private owners fortune 500 companies as well as charter and fractional ownership companies the challenger 3500 jet builds on the successful winning formula of the challenger 300 series and elevates the passenger experience all while keeping sustainability at the center of our design the challenger 3500 aircraft is one of the most distinguished looking jets on the market this aircraft has ideal proportions a large fuselage creating a roomy cabin proportionate wing tail and engines for optimum performance and a right size gear for smooth landings challenger 300 series aircraft are the only clean sheet design jets purposely built for the super midsize segment a unique feature of the challenger 3500 aircraft is its swept windshield showcasing style and speed ramp appeal is further enhanced by the aircraft's stance tall and proud on the runway as on other bombardier designs the nose and main landing gear are the same height which means that the cabin is always leveled landings are always smooth thanks to the trailing link design of the main gear along with a swept windshield the signature fluid angle formed by the wing and winglet is another striking exterior design feature of the challenger 3500 aircraft the wing design is ideal for the super midsize segment this wing is also ideal for high speed vortex generators on the upper panel are not necessary to prevent high speed buffeting which means this aircraft can comfortably cruise all day long at mach 0.80 the wing operates equally well at slow speeds having very benign stall characteristics which are managed by three border lawns at the leading edge the winglet designed by bombardier for the challenger 3500 aircraft offers great drag reduction in addition to the border lawns the flap deployment is highly efficient deploying stream-wise or in the same direction as the airflow this reduces unnecessary drag and noise the engines on the challenger 3500 aircraft are honeywell's htf 7350 engines they were originally designed specifically for the challenger 350 jet these engines provide over 7 300 pounds of thrust giving the challenger aircraft the performance it is renowned for the challenger 3500 aircraft has the ideal performance for this segment a perfect combination of speed range and field performance it climbs directly to 43 000 feet in 20 minutes at maximum takeoff weight it can fly at a top speed of mach .83 and handle smoothly and consistently in all configurations another reason this jet is so appreciated is for its easy mission planning a fully equipped challenger 3500 aircraft has a full seats range of 200 nautical miles and a maximum range of 3400 nautical miles with four passengers other aircraft may not perform as advertised in the real world oftentimes this is due to the weight of the extensive list of optional equipment that is not accounted for in the aircraft's advertised range the challenger 3500 aircraft is already configured with the most desired features so the aircraft performs as advertised with this aircraft's range passengers can comfortably fly all over the u.s from any major american city any day of the year from los angeles for example you can reach all of north and central america including hawaii from new york you can reach all of north america central america and head further south up to brazil you can also reach europe into lisbon and london once in london you can reach all of europe north africa and most of the middle east out of dubai you can reach all of the middle east and some of asia and finally from hong kong you can reach all of asia and even make it into australia the chandra 3500 jet has great fuel performance for the super midsize segment takeoff distance on this aircraft is short under 5000 feet at maximum takeoff weight great for typical executive airports a supplement increases the challenger 3500 aircraft's range out of runways as short as 3500 feet this enhancement improves the aircraft's overall performance from over 2000 airports worldwide the challenger 3500 aircraft is also certified for steep approach capability which means it can operate out of more challenging airfields such as london city airport on landing the oversized brakes allow for the aircraft to stop in short distances floating isn't a concern on this jet as its right-sized gears help this aircraft mitigate the extra lift created by ground effect the sophisticated flap system also contributes to lower and safer approach speeds in windy conditions therefore reducing the associated landing distance compared to competitors the flap design makes the aircraft stable on approach at slow speeds as a testimony of that the speed increment pilots would apply in gusty conditions is only half of the gust increment up to a maximum of 10 knots other less stable aircraft in this category will need to add half the steady state wind plus a full gust increment up to a maximum of 20 knots to their approach speed or twice as much as the challenger 3500 aircraft to safely land their airplane the challenger 3500 aircraft offers the lowest direct operating costs in its class through affordable maintenance programs low parts cost and longer maintenance intervals than the competition these are scheduled at every 800 flight hours and 24 months with an expansive support network operators have access to more trained pilots more service facilities and greater parts availability facilitating a smoother entry into service let's take a look at a few maintenance related items that differentiate the challenger 3500 jet from its competition the carbon brakes typically average 3500 landings or 10 to 13 years before replacement on some of our competitors brakes will need changing after only 1 500 landings the flap mechanism on the challenger 3500 aircraft incorporates a side roller it ensures that the flap does not travel laterally and damage the sides of the tracks the underside of the wing has multiple access panels for inspection purposes all locks use the same key and have visual indicators so you can quickly see if they are locked or unlocked when leaving the aircraft unattended for a long period of time pilots will want to disconnect the batteries the battery compartment is located in a dedicated space under the baggage bay door and as you can see is extremely easy to access it the aft equipment bay is an open uncluttered space that is easy to work in the lights in here and the baggage bay compartment are on a 20-minute timer you never have to worry about leaving them on after 20 minutes they'll just shut off automatically the challenger 3500 business jet is equipped with an aircraft health monitoring system smartlink plus now visible through the my maintenance app it allows the maintenance crew to receive real-time data from the aircraft and to begin troubleshooting in-flight messages integrated with bombardier's class-leading smart fix plus maintenance software technicians can get ahead of the game and improve aircraft availability over and above having the lowest direct operating costs and being easy to maintain the challenger 300 series aircraft are historically in high demand on the pre-owned market these aircraft retain a higher resale value than other super mid-sized jets welcome to the best equipped flight deck in the super midsize segment above and beyond the superior aesthetics pilots love the clean workspace with all the switches at buttons at eye level or below they very much appreciate how quickly they can get in power up the cockpit in seven minutes and be ready for the trip the challenger 3500 jet is baseline equipped with an auto throttle
