Nextant Aerospace has achieved the first phase in its Challenger 604XT remanufacturing program: STC approval of the Rockwell Collins touchscreen Pro Line Fusion flight deck upgrade on the large-cabin Bombardier business jet. Subsequent phases will include new cabin floor plans, a composite interior shell with LED lighting, oversized tables, and performance enhancements such as a 500-nm range extension and increasing its maximum altitude to FL450, from FL410.
