CHALLENGER: AN INDUSTRIAL ROMANCE

Delve into the dramatic story of Canadair's super-executive jet, the "greatest idea ever built with Canadian dollars." A totally new type of aircraft—faster, cheaper to fly, and more comfortable than any other business jet—was ready to compete with its American counterparts. But would it make it off the drawing board and into the air? The film captures the spirit of the Canadian air transport industry at the height of its innovation and supremacy.

Directed by Stephen Low - 1980 | 57 min
