Bombardier Challenger 300 Model 3D

The Bombardier BD-100 Challenger 300 is a super-mid-sized jet capable of traversing transcontinental distances. It is not developmentally related to the similarly named Challenger 600-series, or the 600-derived Challenger 800-series. The project was launched at the Paris Air Show on July 13, 1999, at which time it was called the Bombardier Continental. It was a "clean sheet" design, assembled in Bombardier's Learjet plant at Wichita Mid-Continent airport, Kansas. The jet was renamed in September 2002 after much debate about which category {Learjet, Challenger, or Global} the new aircraft fit into. It entered commercial service in January 2004.
