The baseline Challenger 300 was launched at the 1999 Paris Air Show as the Bombardier Continental. An all-new design, it received Transport Canada type approval on 31 May 2003, followed on 4 June by US FAR 25 certification, and on 31 July, approval by European JAR 25. Assembled in Montreal, Canada, the Bombardier Challenger 300 entered commercial service on 8 January 2004 with Flexjet. The new design is not developed from the Challenger 600 or its variants.
Its supercritical wings have a fixed leading edge and 27% sweep angle; its 1.15 m (3.8 ft) winglets reduce cruise lift-induced drag by 17%. The Bombardier Challenger 300 climbs to FL410 in 18 minutes with a 455 kg (1,003 lb) fuel burn at MTOW/ISA, where at a 14,330 kg (31,590 lb) weight, it burns 680 kg (1,500 lb)/h at Mach 0.8 / 445 kn (824 km/h) tas, 875 kg (1,929 lb)/h at Mach 0.83 / 465 kn (861 km/h) tas.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 fuselage and wing are semi-monocoque aluminum structures, and the winglets are composite. The aircraft’s control surfaces are operated through different systems: the outboard ailerons are manually actuated, and the elevators and rudder are hydraulic with a mechanical backup. Additionally, fly-by-wire spoilers augment roll control, act as speedbrakes, and reduce lift during ground operations. The hydraulic single-slotted Fowler flaps offer four positions: 0°, 10°, 20°, and 30°. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics include four LCDs, an EICAS and Maintenance Diagnostics Computer, an EGPWS, a TCAS II, and an ELT.
