Bombardier is celebrating the speed records of its Global 7500 business jet, including the most recent speed records for flights from Farnborough to Muharraq and Phoenix to Paris.
Bombardier says that these records, which are currently pending approval by the FAI, the World Air Sport Federation, build on earlier speed and distance records already achieved by the Global 7500, including an 8,225 nautical mile flight in October 2019 from Sydney, Australia to Detroit, Michigan – the longest-range flight ever in business aviation according to the business jet manufacturer. The Global 7500 also set more than 20 new flight records in autumn 2023, including routes from Singapore to Anchorage, Alaska and Montreal to Geneva.
The Global 7500 features a stunning cabin design with spacious interior featuring four living spaces, a full-size, superbly equipped kitchen and a dedicated crew suite, as well as other innovative design elements such as Bombardier’s patented Nuage seat, which features the industry’s first zero-gravity position.
“The Global 7500 aircraft is in a class by itself when it comes to performance – an immaculate business jet that was made to set and shatter records,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense. “With its impeccable design attributes and technological advancements, the Global 7500 aircraft offers customers precisely what they need to enhance their operations – unmatched reliability, productivity and style.”
Global 7500 has a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a range of 7,700 nautical miles and its Smooth Flĕx Wing is 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 offering a smoother, more restful ride.
