Bombardier today announced that its performance-leading Global 7500 business jet has achieved another record-breaking milestone: 135 speed records, the most ever set by a single business aircraft type. Some of the blazing-fast aircraft’s impressive city-pair speed records include key city pairs such as Tokyo to San Francisco, London to Riyadh, Oakland to Tokyo, Hartford to Dubai, Tokyo to Toronto, and Montreal to Paris, among many others.


Earlier achievements on the Global 7500 include the longest flight ever recorded in business aviation – an 8,225 nautical mile (15,232.7 km) flight from Sydney to Detroit—as well as the industry’s longest range non-stop mission from London City Airport to Los Angeles.


“This is the ultimate recognition, the most speed records of all time—and it’s precisely what Bombardier’s discerning customers need: a reliable, fast, efficient business tool that gets them to their destination quickly and efficiently,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense. “Even more impressive is the fact that some of these records have been set with passengers on board in varying conditions and airports. It’s a testament to how well engineered the aircraft is, ensuring customers fully benefit from the aircraft’s outstanding performance attributes for their everyday important missions.”


With its incredible performance attributes, the Global 7500 aircraft has achieved an impressive number of speed records since coming to market. Boasting a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a baseline range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km), the Global 7500 sets a new benchmark for performance in the ultra-long-range category. The aircraft’s unique Smooth Flĕx Wing is like 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. It also reduces fuel burn, lowers emissions, and produces excellent short-field and high-speed performance—producing the perfect platform for our discerning customers.


The industry-defining attributes of the Global 7500 aircraft will soon be enhanced with the introduction of the Global 8000 aircraft. Bombardier’s flagship for a new era is anticipated to have an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles (14,816 km) and a top speed of Mach 0.94, making it the ultimate all-in-one business aircraft. It will also have a low cabin altitude of less than 2,900 feet when flying at 41,000 ft.


Bombardier’s nimble Global 8000 also possesses impressive runway performance comparable to a light jet. Its unique design and cutting-edge engineering provide customers with the ability to access smaller airports other aircraft in its category can’t access.
