Bombardier's Challenger 3500 brought a new nomenclature and features such as Nuage seats to the company's super midsize line.

Bombardier’s Challenger 3500 has set a new speed record: the fastest in the super-midsize category to reach 100 unit deliveries, according to the Montreal-headquartered airframer. Announcing the milestone delivery this morning, Bombardier handed over the 100th Challenger 3500 to an unnamed customer just two years after the aircraft reached the market.

The latest iteration of the Challenger 300/350 family, the 3500 entered service on a promotional tour in September 2022 before the first production model was delivered in late October during a delivery ceremony at the 2022 NBAA-BACE in Orlando, Florida.
