The Bombardier Challenger 604, a super-midsize business jet that became the best-selling aircraft in the Challenger series, revolutionized corporate aviation with its combination of wide-body comfort and transcontinental range. First flown in prototype form in 1978 with the 604 variant entering service in 1995, it was a low-wing twin-engine aircraft capable of carrying up to 16 passengers in a spacious cabin measuring 28.4 feet long by 8.2 feet wide. With a range of over 4,000 nautical miles and powered by two General Electric CF34-3B turbofan engines, the aircraft was manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace in Montreal, Canada.
