Bombardier today announced that its industry-defining Global 7500 business jet has just notched a new performance milestone with its 150th speed record, the most ever set by a single business aircraft type.
The latest achievements attained by this blazing fast business aircraft include key city pair speed records, such as Tokyo to Los Angeles, Toronto to Paris, New York to London and Hong Kong to Montreal.
What’s more, the aircraft averaged a speed in excess of 1,000 km/hr on 20 of its record-setting missions, bringing passengers to their destinations in record time.
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.
Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defence, said: “The Global 7500 continues to redefine what is possible in business aviation,”.
“Our customers count on us to deliver a business tool with the highest standards in luxury, speed and reliability, and the Global 7500 overachieves on all fronts.
“Many of these records have been set with passengers on board in varying conditions and airports, making these achievements even more meaningful and reaching this pinnacle more remarkable.”
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.
