This is somewhat surprising given the additional length of the G280. Whereas the G280 has an official maximum passenger occupancy of 10. Officially, the Challenger 650 is capable of carrying up to 12. For reference, the G280 measures 1.85 in interior height. The Challenger 650’s cabin measures 1.83 meters in height. This will not only make the aircraft more comfortable when sitting down but will also make the cabin easier to navigate.įinally, cabin height. Of course, a wider cabin will result in more shoulder room and a wider aisle. In comparison, the G280’s cabin measures 2.11 meters wide. Next up is interior width.The Challenger 650’s cabin measures 2.41 meters in width. This is a significant difference in length – around 2 meters. In comparison, the G280’s measures 9.83 meters length. When it comes to interior length, the Challenger 650’s cabin measures 7.8 meters long. One of the most notable differences between the Challenger 650 and G280 is the interior length. With the exception of width, the G280 beats the Challenger 650 when it comes to interior dimensions. In comparison, the G280 burns 284 Gallons per Hour (GPH). The Challenger has a fuel burn of just 310 Gallons per Hour (GPH). The Challenger 650 falls short with a maximum cruise altitude of 41,000 feet.Īdditionally, the Challenger 650 is a thirstier aircraft. However, the Gulfstream has a maximum cruise altitude of 45,000 feet. Whereas the maximum cruise speed of the G280 is 482 knots. The maximum cruise speed of the Challenger 650 comes in at 488 knots. While the larger Gulfstream aircraft are the fastest in the sky, the same cannot be said for the G280. As a result, the total thrust output for the G280 is 15,248 lbs. Each engine is capable of producing up to 7,624 lbs of thrust. On the other hand, the Gulfstream G280 is powered by two Honeywell HTF7250G engines. As a result, the total thrust output for the Challenger 650 is 17,458 lbs. Each engine is capable of producing up to 8,729 lbs of thrust. The Bombardier Challenger 650 is powered by two General Electric CF34-3B engines.
