Challenger 300 -
Launched in 2003, the Challenger 300, formally known as the "Continental" had one objective: offer a large cabin for the price of a super mid size jet.
This objective has been achieved. The Challenger is a very good value for money, offering a vast stand up cabin. The typical layout is a double club 4, making it a very good option for medium haul flights for up to 8 passengers from London to Tel Aviv or from Moscow to Lisbon for example.
The cabin features a forward wardrobe, refreshment center and lavatory.

Citation X -
Launched in 1996, the Citation X (for the roman numeral number 10) was the fastest civilian private jet, cruising at mach 0.92, until the Gulfstream G650 broke that record lately.
But Cessna is decided to win its title back, after announcing the new Citation TEN launch at NBAA 2011.
Easily recognizable with its profiled wing and winglets as well as its 2 oversized turbo fans, the Citation X is Cessna's flagship jet aircraft.
With a maximum range of 5600 km, the Citation X allows direct flights from Dubai to Nice for example, at nearly supersonic speeds.
The cabin typically sits 8 passengers in a double club 4 configuration. In flight entertainment systems are standard, as well as fully equipped front galley and rear lavatory.
