N511FX

This airframe, registered as N511FX, is a 2023-build Bombardier Challenger 3500 (BD-100-1A10) with manufacturer serial number 20964. The aircraft is listed as owned by RICHEY ROBERT COOPER (co-owned), an individual co-owner based in Cleveland, OH, US, and operates with a US registry in the fixed-wing multi-engine category. The airframe retains manufacturer-delivered equipment common to late-build Challenger 3500s, and its market valuation is reported at $25,900,000, reflecting a near-new condition and contemporary equipment fit. No further historical ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the original registration and co-ownership designation.

The cabin is configured in an executive layout for 8–9 passengers with a single-aisle, club seating arrangement typical for fractional or charter operations; this specific aircraft is reported with 8 seats. Avionics include an advanced four-display suite with autothrottle, with manufacturer-optional provisions for a heads-up display and an Enhanced Vision System; the installation on this particular airframe follows the contemporary Challenger 3500 fit standard. Typical mission profiles for the airframe encompass transcontinental and regional business travel within the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 459 kts, operating from its Cleveland, OH base or national charter endpoints. Maintenance considerations align with newer HTF7350-powered Challengers, emphasizing scheduled engine inspections and avionics software currency for autothrottle and optional EVS/HUD systems.

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering long range, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling suitable for efficient high-altitude routing. Competing models include other super-midsize types from Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon, and Embraer Praetor lines, with buyer and charter demand driven by cabin comfort, range, and modern avionics like autothrottle and EVS/HUD. For this specific late-build airframe, resale and operating considerations favor buyers seeking nearly new type-hours, manufacturer warranty coverage, and the HTF7350 engine’s established maintenance track record.
