The Challenger 600 is more like an airliner than a private jet. Comparable to the Boeing 737, it offers much more cabin space than any similar aircraft. It is quiet, fairly economical, and handles well. Pilots love to fly it, and passengers love the spacious, comfortable cabin and transcontinental range.

Cabin

Usually configured to seat between nine and twelve passengers, but can be configured for as many as nineteen. Needless to say, it’s a very roomy private jet. The cabin is comfortable not only for its size, but also for its very low noise and vibration levels

Flight deck

The Sperry SPZ-650 analog flight guidance system dominates the control panel in the cockpit. It includes a Primus 400 weather radar, dual-channel SPZ-650 autopilot, a GNS-500 VLF/Omega navigation system, and several other situational awareness systems.

Engines

Two Avco Lycoming ALF502L engines power the Challenger 600. They were modified to add supercharger stages to the low-pressure compressor, enabling more than 7,500 pounds of thrust on takeoff. 

Performance

Except when flying against the strongest headwinds, it can cross the United States nonstop. At its top cruise speed, it flies at 443 ktas at an altitude of 39,000 feet (far above most air traffic), or it can cruise at 425 ktas at 43,000 for long-range trips. It burns 1,710 pounds of fuel per hour at its long-range cruise performance levels, or 1,910 pounds per hour at maximum speed. On average, it consumes 262 gallons of fuel per hour.
