The story
The Bombardier Challenger 600 series created the wide-cabin business jet category. Stand-up cabin height, flat floor, and enough room to have a meeting — or take a nap on a divan.
The Challenger began as Bill Lear's LearStar 600 design. Canadair bought it in 1976 and widened the fuselage so passengers could walk around inside.
