About Canadair CL-600-2B16
Canadair CL-600-2B16 aircraft, photo wallpapers: The Bombardier Challenger is a family of business jets designed by Bill Lear and produced first by Canadair until that company was bought by Bombardier Aerospace in 1986. The aircraft was an independent design by Lear in 1976, who had resigned as Chairman of Lear Jet seven years previously. Originally dubbed the LearStar 600, Lear sold exclusive rights to produce and develop the design to Canadair, who renamed it the CL-600 Challenger. While similar in general configuration to Lear's previous designs, notable changes were made that distinguished the new airplane from the Learjets, including the use of a widened fuselage that allowed a ‘walk-about cabin’, a feature not shared by any other business aircraft of the time. On November 8 1978, the first prototype of the airplane took off for the first time. The first flight resulted in a disaster, the airplane crashing due to a deep stall, killing one of the test pilots (the other parachuted safely). The second and third prototypes flew in March that same year. Despite the first flight’s crash, both Transport Canada and the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States certified the airplane in 1980, albeit with both handling over some restrictions to pilots including a limited maximum take-off weight. A large program to reduce the airplane's weight was then implemented to improve the aircraft's range.
Variants:
CL-600: - original production version, powered by Avco Lycoming ALF-502L turbofans of 7,500 lbf (33.6 kN) thrust each. Built until 1983 (83 built)
CL-600S - 76 CL-600s retrofitted with the winglets introduced on the CL-601-1A. 12 aircraft purchased by Canadian Forces Air Command for use in a variety of roles as the CC-144, CE-144, and CX-144.
CL-601-1A: - refined version including winglets to reduce drag and more powerful General Electric engines. (66 built, including 4 CL-144s)
CL-601-1A/ER - 601-1A retrofitted with the 601-3R's a...
