Bombardier Global 7500
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Global 8000 are ultra long-range business jets developed by Bombardier Aviation (formerly Bombardier Aerospace). The Global 7500, originally named the Global 7000, made its first flight on November 4, 2016, was type certified by Transport Canada on September 28, 2018, and entered service on 20 December 2018.
The Global 7500 is a clean sheet design with a new transonic wing and is the first purpose built business jet featuring a four-zone cabin. The Global 7500 has a range of 7,700 nmi (14,300 km) and is the largest business jet in the world.
The Global 8000 was initially a shorter, three-zone aircraft but was updated in May 2022 as a four-zone jet similar to the Global 7500, reaching 8,000 nautical miles (15,000 km) and with a top speed of Mach 0.95 (729 miles per hour (1,173 km/h)), making it the fastest business jet and fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde. The Global 8000, also has a cabin altitude of 2,691 feet (820 m) while flying at 41,000 feet (12,000 m), the lowest cabin altitude of any business jet in production. The Global 8000 was introduced in 2025.
Announced in October 2010, the jets were initially scheduled for introduction in 2016 for the Global 7500 and 2017 for the Global 8000. In 2015, Bombardier decided to redesign the aircraft's wing, a change that, in conjunction with other design challenges, delayed the programme by over two years. The goal of the redesign was to reduce the wing's weight without altering its aerodynamic profile. The aircraft fly-by-wire system architecture is based on that of the CSeries. The airframe will use aluminium–lithium alloys like the other airliner. The program cost more than US$1 billion.
Formerly named Global 7000, its entry into service was initially scheduled for 2016. Former Formula One driver and long time Bombardier brand ambassador Niki Lauda announced his order ahead of the EBACE 2015 convention.
The first test aircraft underwent taxi testing in October 2016. Dedicated to testing basic system functionality and assessing the handling and flying qualities of the aircraft, its maiden flight was performed on November 4, 2016, climbing to 20,000 feet (6,096 m) and reaching 240 knots during the 2 h 27 min flight.
The production wing was in final design in February 2017. FTV2 flew on March 6, 2017, "The Powerhouse" is designed to test aircraft systems, including propulsion, electrical and mechanical systems. FTV1 is used to open the performance envelope and reached Mach 0.995 on March 29, 2017. FTV3 flew on May 10, 2017, "The Navigator" will be used to test the avionics and electrical system performance.
By the end of May 2017, the three prototypes flew a combined 250 hours.
