2006-10-24 News Release
Business aircraft on the cutting edge at NBAA The new Learjet 60 XR jet and the Challenger 300 aircraft cabin upgrades were presented to over 200 customers, media, and industry leaders at the National Business Aviation Association Convention.
Launched at NBAA less than one year ago, the Learjet 60 XR aircraft is
the latest evolution of the powerful, proven midsize jet, featuring a
cabin redesigned for style, comfort and functionality together with the
new Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck. The Challenger 300 aircraft
cabin upgrade comes just 33 months after the best-selling aircraft entered
service, ensuring the aircraft remains on the cutting edge of entertainment
capabilities, environmental control and passenger comfort.
Bombardier has manufactured a total of 559 midsize business jets as of July 31, 2006. They include 147 Learjet 55 aircraft, 305 Learjet 60 aircraft and 107 Challenger 300 super midsize jets. Both the Learjet 60 jet and Challenger 300 aircraft are recognized throughout the industry for high-speed performance and excellent reliability. Over the last 12 months, the Learjet 60 aircraft in-service fleet has posted a dispatch reliability average of 99.7 percent, while the young Challenger 300 aircraft in-service fleet is already achieving 99.5 percent reliability. The Learjet 60 XR aircraft interior builds on a stand-up cabin already well known for its superior comfort, wide aisle and generous seated head and shoulder room. Passenger space for up to nine is enhanced with redesigned seats that improve legroom, while a larger galley and vanity cabinet offer optimized work areas and additional storage space. The cabin also features a next-generation Audio International cabin electronic
system with ergonomically positioned touch-screens for each passenger
featuring a simplified control design, as well as a state-of-the-art audio-video
system capable of playing XM satellite radio and ports for entertainment
accessories such as laptops, DVD, and MP3 players. The latest in light
emitting diode lighting technology, a reclaimed window in the aft lavatory
and new modular floorplan offering a wider choice of configurations complete
the all-new interior package. The addition of an optional second file server unit eliminates the need for paper-based navigation charts, a major step towards a paperless cockpit, and representing another “first” for Learjet operators. The Learjet 60 XR aircraft received FAA approval for its new avionics
suite on September 28, 2006. This paves the way for Bombardier to begin
Learjet 60 XR production, with the first group of aircraft on schedule
to enter service in the first quarter of calendar year 2007. The Ethernet-based NICE integrates previously unlinked cabin management, communications and entertainment systems into a single control system. Cabin temperature, lighting and the on-board entertainment and communication systems are centrally managed via touch screens located at each passenger seat. Passengers can view DVD movies on one of two 20-inch high definition LCD widescreens, plug in an iPod*, or view Power Point presentations. In addition, digital surround sound is distributed through QinetiQ trim panel speakers, which blend indistinguishably within cabin sidewalls, offering a cleaner look as well as a more complete and evenly distributed auditory experience. Newly redesigned seats include full swivel and reclining capabilities, providing a more relaxed and enjoyable working environment. As well, a jump seat can be installed near the pilot door, as optional equipment. Bombardier also announced that several other features, previously available as options, are now standard equipment. These include a second Flight Management System (FMS), Global Positioning (GPS) and Distance Measuring (DME), redundant systems, which will provide the backup necessary for over-water transcontinental missions and remote regions. A single File Server Unit (FSU), generates electronic charts to improve situational awareness. A clean-sheet design, the Challenger 300 aircraft entered service in January 2004. In addition to a comfortable stand-up cabin, it features the class-leading mix of range, high cruise speeds, low balanced field length and reduced operating costs. With a full load of eight passengers and fuel reserves, it delivers a maximum non-stop range of 3,100 nautical miles (5,741-km), under certain conditions. * iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer Inc.
