Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History
- 2022 - Nuage update of the Challenger 350
Launched in September 2021 and in deliveries since 2022, it keeps 100% of the structure, wing and HTF7350 engine of the Challenger 350; the innovation is in the Nuage cabin. EIS (Entry Into Service) in September 2022, with competitive positioning directly vs. the Praetor 600 (Embraer) and Citation Longitude (Cessna).
- 2022 - First super-midsize bizjet with an EPD
In 2022 it became the first super-midsize with an audited EPD (Environmental Product Declaration), with a carbon footprint published per flight hour. Strong ESG positioning for family offices and corporates with net-zero commitments.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
First voice-controlled super-midsize cabin
The Nuage system lets you control lights, temperature, window shades, monitor and sound by voice command, a feature previously restricted to the Global 7500. Ambient lighting with a circadian wake-up cycle adjusts the light color to the destination time zone to reduce jet lag.
Only super-mid with residential 4K Ultra HD
The first business jet to offer a 24-inch 4K UHD monitor with Apple CarPlay-style integration. Ka-band Viasat Wi-Fi (up to 16 Mbps per user). 110V outlet per seat + 60W USB-C for laptops.
Limitations
3,400 nm range falls below the Praetor 600
The Embraer Praetor 600 offers 4,018 nm (true transatlantic, Teterboro-Paris) vs. 3,400 nm for the Challenger 3500. A difference that weighs on nonstop US-Europe or São Paulo-Miami missions. Trade-off: the 3500 has a more sophisticated Nuage suite.
Curiosities
MSRP USD 27 million in 2024
Positioned at USD 27 million on the 2024 Bombardier list. Backlog reported at 18+ months in 2023, indicating strong demand even with an elevated production rate.
