Bombardier Global 7500 private jet amasses over 50 speed records in one year
Bombardier’s stylish Global 7500 private jet has amassed over 50 speed records in the last 50 weeks, adding to its previous tally of industry leading statistics.
According to Bombardier, the Global 7500 private jet achieved record-setting missions on flights between Miami and São Paulo, Tokyo and Los Angeles, Jeddah and London, and London and Bahrain.
The speed records were clocked as Bombardier showcases the Global 7500 for customer demonstrations and other worldwide events.
10 of the new fastest records were logged while the executive jet exceeded more than 1,000 km per hour.
“With every new speed record, the Global 7500 aircraft builds on its well-deserved reputation as the most impressive ultra long-range aircraft in the skies today,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense. “In terms of its design attributes, unique technological advancements and more, the Global 7500 aircraft is unmatched for its reliability, productivity and style.”
With a top speed of Mach 0.925 the Global 7500 relies on its ‘Smooth Flex Wing’ which acts as an in-air shock absorber, “designed with a sophisticated slats and flap system that generates exceptional lift on takeoff and approach, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency and boosting performance while improving safety and offering the industry’s smoothest ride”.
Bombardier said that this design also helps the Global 7500 to reduce fuel burn and lower emissions.
The aircraft’s success also paves the way for the new Global 8000 which will no doubt push the boundaries even further than its predecessor when it enters service in 2025.
“Bombardier’s flagship of a new era will boast an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and an unbeatable top speed of Mach 0.94, making it the ultimate all-in-one business aircraft. It will also feature the lowest cabin altitude of less than 2,900 feet when flying at 41,000 ft. – lower than any business jet today,” the Canadian plane manufacturer said.
