Bombardier’s Global 7500 Business Jet Breaks 50 Speed Records in Less Than a Year

Bombardier has announced that its flagship Global 7500 business jet continues to set new benchmarks in aviation performance, achieving over 50 speed records in under 50 weeks as of August 21. The Global 7500’s recent record-setting feats include key routes such as Miami to São Paulo, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Jeddah to London, and London to Bahrain. Notably, the jet’s average speed for its 10 fastest records exceeds 1,000 km/h, underscoring its unmatched performance capabilities.

Unmatched Performance and Innovation

The Global 7500 stands out for its exceptional performance and luxurious design. With a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a standard range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km), this business jet is engineered to redefine long-distance travel. Its advanced Smooth Flĕx Wing technology acts like an in-air shock absorber, featuring a sophisticated slats and flap system that enhances aerodynamic efficiency, improves safety, and offers a remarkably smooth ride. This technology also contributes to reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and impressive short-field and high-speed performance.

Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President of Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense, praised the Global 7500, stating, “With every new speed record, the Global 7500 reinforces its reputation as the most remarkable ultra long-range aircraft currently in service. Its design, technological innovations, and unparalleled performance make it a standout in the industry.”

Design Excellence and Luxury

Beyond its performance, the Global 7500 excels in design and comfort. It features a spacious and luxurious interior that includes four distinct living areas, a full-size, well-equipped kitchen, and a dedicated crew suite. The cabin’s standout feature is Bombardier’s patented Nuage seat, which offers the industry’s first zero-gravity position, setting a new standard in business aviation comfort.

Looking Ahead: The Global 8000

Bombardier’s commitment to innovation continues with the forthcoming Global 8000, announced in 2022. This new aircraft will push the boundaries even further with an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.94. The Global 8000 will also feature a cabin altitude of less than 2,900 feet at 41,000 feet, making it the lowest in its class. The development of the Global 8000 is on track, with entry into service expected in 2025.

A Legacy of Excellence

Bombardier remains dedicated to designing, building, and maintaining the world’s highest-performing aircraft for its elite clientele. With a fleet of approximately 5,000 aircraft and a global network of support facilities, Bombardier is committed to advancing the future of aviation through innovation and craftsmanship.
