Challenger 650: Really A New Aircraft? General Statements 1. Challenger 605 Standard Thrust = 8,729 lb (38.83 kn) Challenger 605 Thrust with Auxiliary Power Reserve (APR) = 9,220 lb (41 kn) Challenger 650 Thrust = 9,220 lb (41 kn) Bombardier incorporates Challenger 605 with APR as standard on the Challenger 650 APR ON: The use of APR at takeoff may cost an additional engine cycle thus reducing engine life 2. Challenger 605 Max Range = 4,000 nm (7,408 km) (6 pax, LRC = M.74), std aircraft Challenger 650 Max Range = 4,000 nm (7,408 km) (6 pax, LRC = M.74), std aircraft Challenger 650 range = Challenger 605 range (same fuel weight) Bombardier says the Challenger 650 offers a true 4,000 nm range All operators know that the true range of a Challenger 605/650 is around 3,500 nm (6,482 km) at M.80, for a typical aircraft 3. Challenger 605 Takeoff distance = 5,840 ft (1,780 m) Challenger 650 Takeoff distance = 5,640 ft (1,720 m) SL, ISA, MTOW Only performance improvement is BFL 200 ft (60 m) shorter due to thrust with APR

Challenger 650: Really A New Aircraft? General Statements 4. Challenger 605 BOW = 27,150 lb (12,315 kg) Challenger 650 BOW = 27,150 lb (12,315 kg) According to Bombardier, all the modifications introduced on the Challenger 650 have no impact on the weight 5. Challenger 605 Payload with full fuel = 1,298 lb (589 kg) Challenger 650 Payload with full fuel = 1,298 lb (589 kg) Bombardier claims the Challenger 650 will offer extra payload compared to the Challenger 605 However, the MTOW of the Challenger 650 is not increased compared to the Challenger 605 and the BOW is said to be the same There is no guarantee that a typically equipped Challenger 650 aircraft will carry more than 3-4 pax with full fuel 6. Challenger 605 and Challenger 650 offers exactly the same cabin windows surface On the Challenger 650, Bombardier just enlarged the internal shape around the windows 7.
