Global 5000 and 6000 Series

New FAA and EASA STCs enable Collins Aerospace to bring its high-speed LuxStream connectivity service to Bombardier Global 5000, 6000, and XRS models.

Along with the approval, the Montreal-based manufacturer also announced the delivery of the first 6500 on order with HK Bellawings.

The Canadian airframer says its Global Global 5500 now has a range of 5,900 nm.

Certification comes about 16 months after the Montreal-headquartered manufacturer took the wraps off the 5500 and 6500.

Nexcelle has required supplier production contracts in place to support nacelle-production ramps for Bombardier Global 7500 and Comac C919.

With the public debut of Bombardier's new flagship Global 7000, Nexcelle's integrated propulsion system shares some of the spotlight at NBAA.
