Bombardier has delivered the 200th Global 7500 business jet to a customer.
The aircraft entered into service in December 2018. It has unique Smooth Flĕx Wing technology, manufactured in Red Oak, Texas, as well as GE Passport engines, and has a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 kilometres).
“Simply put, the Global 7500 aircraft is assembled with the best manufacturing process and technological advancements in business aviation – and we are so excited and honoured to reach the 200-delivery mark of this transformative aircraft,” said David Murray, Executive Vice President, Manufacturing, IT and Bombardier Operational Executive System.
“This milestone also reflects the outstanding efforts of our meticulous engineering, production and assembly teams. These talented individuals are the beating heart of this programme’s ultimate success and achievements.”
The Smooth Flĕx Wing is like an in-air shock absorber, which Bombardier says has been designed with a sophisticated slats and flap system that generates exceptional lift on takeoff and approach, maximising aerodynamic efficiency and boosting performance while improving safety and a smooth ride.
