O Challenger 850 é o jato executivo que a Bombardier derivou do regional CRJ200, origem que aparece no código ICAO CRJ2 e na cabine dimensionada para até 16 assentos (14 na configuração típica). Produzido entre 2006 e 2012, fica na categoria Large com 2.811 nm de alcance, cruzeiro de 459 kt, teto de 41.000 pés e MTOW de 24.040 kg; o preço de lista quando novo era de US$ 29 milhões. Para quem compra ou opera no Brasil, ele atende grupos grandes em trechos domésticos e regionais, e, por estar fora de linha, a decisão passa pelo histórico de manutenção, pelo suporte de peças e pelo tamanho da frota do tipo em operação.

See with Pro

Pro 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

Conversão executiva do CRJ-200 commercial

Lançado em 2006 como sucessor do Challenger 800/870, é tecnicamente um Bombardier CRJ-200 ER fuselage convertido em ambiente VIP. EIS em 2006, produzido em Montreal até 2012, com aproximadamente 80 unidades total entregues, um dos large jets mais raros do mercado.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Maior cabine bizjet large da época

Cabine de 14,73 m de comprimento, quase 60% maior que o Challenger 605 (8,61 m) e comparável ao Embraer Lineage 1000 (15,5 m). Permite VIP layout com forward club, aft conference, divan-lounge e stateroom traseiro privativo, produto ímpar para corporate shuttle de 12-14 executivos.

Stand-up cabin com 2 lavatories e galley pleno

Único large jet abaixo de USD 15M com 2 banheiros completos (fwd + aft), galley dianteiro de tamanho commercial e bagageiro interno walk-in. Configurações VIP ofereciam até stateroom com cama queen e chuveiro, atendendo missões 8h+ com conforto de bizliner.

Limitations

Range 2.811 nm, abaixo de qualquer large jet moderno

Por ser baseado no CRJ-200 (regional jet de short-haul), o range de 2.811 nm fica muito abaixo de Falcon 2000LX (4.000 nm) ou Challenger 605 (4.077 nm). Voos transcontinental US ou transatlânticos exigem fuel stop, limitação que o exclui de missões long-range típicas de large jets.

Curiosities

Apenas ~80 unidades convertidas globalmente

Bombardier converteu cerca de 80 CRJ-200 fuselages para configuração 850 entre 2006-2012, mercado muito de nicho. Operadores típicos: VistaJet (cerca de 20 unidades em frota), governos do Oriente Médio, e corporates que precisavam transportar 12-14 executivos juntos sem escala.

2012Wikipedia

Mercado pre-owned USD 6-11 milhões, depreciação acentuada

Em 2024-2025 negocia entre USD 6M (alto tempo) e USD 11M (low time, ADS-B + WAAS upgrades). Sofreu depreciação acentuada por ser nicho, manutenção CRJ-derived (peças, suporte) é mais cara que típicas Challenger family. Hourly de USD 4.500 com fuel burn de 320 GPH é mais alto que Challenger 605 padrão.
