After making some versions of the Challenger, in the design process which increased the fuel capacity and enhanced avionics supplied with modern navigation piloting SollipsRgoLine4 complex, there was a business jet aircraft CL604. It happened in 1994, after a year started serial production liner in the 2003 Challenger 604 and began to take off from Russian bands.

Thanks to the combination of versatility and the comfort of using the Bombardier Challenger, 604 has been holding the leading position among business jets of a large class for ten years. The aircraft has operational certificates in 45 countries of the world. The aircraft can fly at a maximum speed of 870 km / h., At a distance carrying up to 7500km 9-16 passengers. The aircraft uses the latest achievements in the field of avionics. The Precision Plus system automatically calculates the optimal thrust and speed for the engines, and the Safe Flight Auto Power system provides excellent smoothness of speed variation. Thanks to these and many other advantages, the Challenger 604 has proven itself to be a very reliable, economical and exceptionally comfortable aircraft.

At the moment, Challenger604 is the only aircraft in the world. It has an intercontinental flight range, combined with a record high cruise speed for its class, and has a large passenger compartment. An important advantage of the aircraft is that it is equipped with a heating system for power supply, it contains a separate toilet compartment, and is equipped as standard with means of communication during the flight. The Challenger604 airliner includes a huge, well-sealed luggage compartment that can be accessed throughout the flight.

This makes the aircraft ideal for long-haul flights with a large number of connections, since luggage is constantly replenished in such cases, and the large size of the cabin, free space and comfort are extremely important. The interior is inimitable and unique; it is furnished with comfortable modern furniture, air conditioning, stereo and DVD systems, which will please even a very demanding passenger. Due to the increased configuration of the passenger compartment, the aircraft has increased by 0,5 meters in comparison with the "younger brother" Challenger601, thanks to which the number of windows for two windows has increased.

If a more detailed talk about the technical properties of the Challenger 604, in comparison with predecessors CL601 CL600 and large aircraft has not changed, apart from, perhaps, a greater range. Through the installation of tanks with more fuel capacity than the Challenger 601, the largest distance flight Challenger604 increased to 7458km.

Engineers performed onboard cockpit avionics equipment on the basis of Collins ProLine 4, and the engines installed brand 2xGeneralElectric CF343Bs modification.

The cabin with the increased comfort of this aircraft has the following dimensions: 8,66 m. in length, 2,5m. wide and 1,86m. in height.
