Bombardier’s Global 7500 has been rapidly racking up speed records, topping 50 of them in less than 50 weeks. The ultra-long-range aircraft has established records from Miami to São Paulo, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Jeddah to London, and London to Bahrain.
The 10 fastest new records averaged a speed of more than 1,000 km/h, Bombardier reported. Top speed of the Global 7500 is Mach 0.925, and the aircraft has a baseline range of 7,700 nm. As these speed records have accrued, the in-service fleet continues to expand with now close to 200 delivered. Collectively, the fleet has logged more than 180,000 flying hours.
Meanwhile, Bombardier continues to progress on its even speedier Global 8000 successor that can fly at Mach 0.94. Announced in 2022, the Global 8000 will have an 8,000-nm range and cabin altitude of less than 2,900 feet while flying at FL410. The Montreal-based airframer is planning service entry in 2025.
