The Bombardier Global 7500 has firmly secured its status as an aviation legend by clinching its 150th speed record, a feat unmatched by any other business jet. This milestone underscores the aircraft’s unparalleled performance and its consistent ability to shrink global flight times for its passengers.
The record-setting flights include major intercontinental routes such as Tokyo to Los Angeles, Toronto to Paris, and New York to London. Demonstrating its blistering pace, the jet achieved average speeds exceeding 1,000 km/h on twenty of these record-breaking journeys. This landmark 150th record builds on a history of pioneering achievements, including the longest flight ever in business aviation from Sydney to Detroit.
“The Global 7500 continues to redefine the boundaries of business aviation,” stated Jean-Christophe Gallagher, an Executive Vice President at Bombardier. “These records are particularly significant as they were often set with passengers onboard in real-world conditions, proving its reliability as a superior business tool that excels in luxury, speed, and performance.”
The aircraft’s exceptional capabilities are driven by its top speed of Mach 0.925 and a formidable 7,700-nautical-mile range. Its innovative Smooth Flex Wing technology not only ensures the industry’s smoothest ride but also enhances aerodynamic efficiency, safety, and fuel economy.
This legacy of innovation is set to continue with the upcoming Global 8000, Bombardier’s next-generation flagship. Promising an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.94, the Global 8000 will combine ultra-long-range capability with the agile runway performance of a light jet, allowing access to more exclusive and remote destinations.
