What a week! Bombardier Aerospace had big news for the 2010 NBAA
convention with the introduction of two new jets, the Global 7000
and Global 8000 aircraft. Bombardier's flagship Global aircraft
family now covers the large, ultra long-range category with four
aircraft models, the Global 5000, Global Express XRS, Global 7000
and Global 8000 jets.
The Global 7000 aircraft features a spacious four-zone cabin
measuring 2,637 cu. ft. The aircraft will have a high-speed cruise
of M 0.90 and a range of 7,300 nm at M 0.85. It will fly
London-Singapore, New York-Dubai or Beijing-Washington non-stop
with 10 passengers. Entry into service is scheduled for 2016.
The Global 8000 aircraft will feature a three-zone
2,236-cu.ft. cabin and a range of 7,900 nm at M 0.85. It will
connect Sydney-Los Angeles, Hong Kong-New York and Mumbai-New York
non-stop with eight passengers. The Global 8000 jet will reach a
high-speed cruise of M 0.90. Entry into service is scheduled for
2017.
Bombardier's new Global aircraft will feature a new high-speed
transonic wing, designed to significantly optimize aerodynamic
efficiency, combined with next-generation GE TechX 16,500 lb-
thrust-engines to deliver significant efficiency and emissions
advantages, including reduced NOx emissions – 50 per cent
below the International Civil Aviation Organization's upcoming
Civil Aircraft Emissions Protocol (CAEP-6) regulations – and
an eight per cent better overall fuel-efficiency target when
compared to the industry-leading Global Express XRS aircraft.
Featuring a high-speed cruise of M 0.90, these aircraft are
designed to 'outperform' all others, connecting more key city pairs
non-stop worldwide through a combination of range, fuel efficiency
and balanced field length.
