N744QS

This entry describes airframe N744QS, a US-registered Bombardier business jet built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 20704. The airframe is a member of the Bombardier production line and carries the model designation Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350; it remains registered in the US. Delivered new in 2017, the aircraft has an estimated market valuation of $18,000,000 and presents an operator-configurable interior and avionics fit typical for the type.

The cabin aboard N744QS is outfitted in a typical 8‑place executive double‑club configuration with a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory, though the layout is operator‑specific and may vary from the factory standard. Avionics are installed in a typical configuration for the type, listed as Collins Pro Line 21, while individual operator fits may alter specific navigation, communications, or cabin‑system options. With a maximum cruise near 459 kts and long‑range capability to 3,200 nm, this airframe is commonly employed on transcontinental and continental‑range executive transport missions from its US operator base. Maintenance and cabin refurbishment plans for this airframe follow Challenger 350 program practices, with operator choices affecting residual value and dispatch reliability.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 occupies the super‑midsize corporate jet niche, offering a combination of transcontinental range and cabin comfort relative to light and smaller midsize competitors. Typical competitors include late‑model midsize and super‑midsize types offering similar range and speed; demand in charter and private ownership markets favors well‑maintained, US‑registered examples like N744QS. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program enrollment for the Honeywell HTF7350 powerplants and the impact of optional avionics or cabin retrofits on marketability, with airframe age (built 2017) and certified ceiling of 45,000 ft informing performance and operational flexibility.
