Description:

This engrossing film follows the developpment of Canadair's super-executive jet. A totally new aircraft based on a design by Bill Lear, the Challenger is faster, cheaper to fly, and more comfortable than any other business jet. An American team of supersales-men, led by Jim Taylor and Dave Smith, marketed and sold the plane while it was still on the drawing board. The film reveals an inspiring success story, showing the risk-taking, perseverance and teamwork required to bridge the gap between the promises of marketing and the realities of engineering. <27mn 23s>
