About Aircraft
BOMBARDIER CL600-2B16 (604VARIANT) (VT-AUV) is the first of the Challenger 600 series developed by Canadair and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace. The first prototype was developed in May 1978, and its maiden flight took place six months later. Transport Canada granted type certification on August 10, 1980, and the FAA did the same on November 7.
The Challenger 600 is a business jet of generally conventional configuration, with all swept flight surfaces like a low-mounted wing and a T-tail. It has tricycle landing gear, with all gear assemblies featuring twin wheels. The nose gear retracted forward and the main gear hinged from the wing near the wing root in towards the fuselage; incidentally, there were no covers over the main gear wheels. It was powered by twin Avco Lycoming ALF-502L turbofans, mounted on the rear of the fuselage, each engine providing 7,500 pounds of thrust. The Challenger 600 seats two crew members and 14-18 passengers.
Production of the Challenger 600 ended in 1982, with a total of 81 aircraft being built. 65 of those jets remain in operation today, with all of them being pre-owned. North America currently operates 75% of the fleet, with an additional 14% being operated by Asia.
