A new soundproofing system tailor-made for the Bombardier Challenger 300 super-midsize business jet was unveiled today by Canadian developer Silentium Air (stand 688).

Made from glassfibre and foam, the Silentium Air 300 series kit is designed to reduce overall cabin noise levels by at least 3db - equivalent to around a 30% reduction in perceived noise throughout the cabin, says Silentium.

Installation of the first kit on a Challenger 300 is under way at Bombardier's business aircraft service centre in Tucson, Arizona. Silentium plans to introduce similar tailor-made soundproofing systems for the Global Express and Challenger 600/601/604 series of business jets.
