From what I see, there are many variants of the 601 series. The 3R, 3A/ER, 3A and 1A. So what are the main differences between?:confused:

Cheers

from Wikipedia:


CL-601

CL-601-1A: refined version including winglets to reduce drag and more powerful General Electric CF-34 engines. (66 built, including 4 Canadian Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Forces) CL-144/ CC-144B)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_601#cite_note-1)

CL-601-1A/ER: 601-1A retrofitted with an additional fuel tank in the tail

CL-601-3A: engine with a higher flat rating and a glass cockpit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cockpit). This was the first version marketed by Bombardier.

CL-601-3A/ER: 601-3A with an additional, optional fuel tank in the tail

CL-601-3R: the tail tank was made standard, and airline style "unsided" engines (no left or right) were used, matching what was used on the CRJ.
hope this helps.
