Challenger 605
Tail Cone Replacement, Windows and Cabin Redesign.  _____________________________________________________________________________

tail cone replacement

The tail cone is an auxiliary fuel tank which has been redesigned. There are three auxiliary fuel tanks in the belly, one saddle tank, and the tail tank. Combined they hold more fuel than the wings.

WINDOW redesign

Windows are 2" longer and mounted 2.5" higher than in the 604, and the window reveals are redesigned. The result is greater off-board visibility and greater ambient light flooding the cabin giving the perception of a larger cabin.

cabin redesign

The cabin was fully rethought and redesigned to what some are calling a scaled down version of the Global 5000 interior.

The Passenger Service Unit (PSU) was redesigned to provide more headroom and cabin volume while integrating all systems in one location. The new design conceals PSU equipment from line of sight and the new ceiling liner design increases head space 2 inches at the PSU.

New Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting.

The pull-out table's mechanism was redesigned to provide increased stiffness
without increasing weight, and the side ledge raises to match the pullout table surface providing a greater continuous working surface.

The galley was redesigned for increased functionality. There is a 30% increase in cold storage, 23% increase in the waste bin size, an 8% increase in counter space, and a 15% increase in work surface with the two optional pull-out tables. The galley touch screen, a Next Generation 8.4” SVGA panel (800 x 600) display located on the upper aft galley column, controls the digital ethernet based Cabin Electronic System (CES) and provides control over interior systems.

The digiital, Ethernet-based, cabin electronic system (CES) supports any carry-on audio / video equipment and consists of
 - Two 18-inch bulkhead mounted cabin monitors
 - 8 speaker audio system
 - Source equipment :
 - Dual DVD/CD Player (located in forward wardrobe)
 - Airshow ASX with optional interactive version & network news
 - Optional provisions for virtually any carry-on A/V equipment
 - Optional Airborne Office system
 - Master seat location control touch-screen passenger control unit
 - Galley & copilot control touch-screens
 - Cabin LAN
 - Environmental control (lighting & temperature)
