Bombardier also created a militarized version of the 604, called the 604 MMA, which comes equipped with upgrades that allow it handle short, rough strips.
The Challenger 604, equipped with two GE CF34-3B engines, has a normal cruise speed of 447 knots, a range of 4,119 nautical miles, a climb rate of 4,345 feet per minute, and requires 5,621 feet of runway to takeoff and 2,928 to land.

Bombardier’s Challenger 650, introduced in 2015, has a completely redesigned cabin interior compared to the 605, a new Vision Flight Deck (enhancement of Collins’ ProLine 21 avionics system) and a five percent increase in takeoff thrust. Its cabin improvements include larger seats, bigger monitors, and a more technologically advanced cabin management system.
