Company claims it is
the most sophisticated cabin interior in corporate aviation
Bombardier Aerospace has unveiled a preview of a
first-of-its-kind cabin aboard the new Bombardier Global 5000
super-large business jet.
The ceremonial introduction, conducted on the eve of the
biennial Farnborough International Air Show, attracted a large
number of media, industry officials and aircraft operators to TAG
Aviation’s facility at Farnborough Aerodrome, where the first
Global 5000 equipped with an interior was making its international
debut.
“The Bombardier
Global 5000 will raise the standard of excellence and set new
expectations for super large jets in virtually every category
including speed, range and, perhaps most significantly, in the
cabin itself,” declared Peter Edwards, President, Bombardier
Business Aircraft.
“We have listened to our customers and to operators of
competing jets very closely. Their input, suggestions and constant
feedback through surveys and focus groups have directed Bombardier
down a path where we and our suppliers have literally pioneered a
new model of sophistication for corporate jets,” added Mr.
Edwards.
The Bombardier Global 5000 cabin features the state-of-the-art
Airshow 21 integrated cabin electronics system from Rockwell
Collins offering an advanced system architecture that supports a
complete line of cabin electronics tailored to meet an
operator’s unique requirements.
Airshow 21 features a redundant communications backbone,
maximizing system availability while providing digital distribution
of information. Bombardier Global 5000 passengers and crew will
control virtually all aspects of the cabin environment including
the latest in real-time business connectivity, information,
entertainment and cabin management.
Another revolutionary feature unique to the Bombardier Global
5000 is a comprehensive integrated cabin system diagnostic tool to
manage the various environmental systems in the cabin, galley and
lavatories including temperature, lighting, water and waste
systems. This will allow the flight crew to facilitate simple and
rapid maintenance and troubleshooting without disrupting passengers
– a first in corporate aviation.
Bombardier interior specialists, working closely with
industry-leader C&D Aerospace, have also created an
unprecedented level of ergonomic comfort. Among other improvements,
the Bombardier Global 5000 features new seats with contoured back
rests and armrests that are available, as an option, with
pioneering NASA-inspired Visco Elastic material cushions.
In addition, the Bombardier Global 5000 offers improved club and
conference seating arrangements combined with larger window
contours, new Goodrich Hella-designed Light Emitting Diode mood
lighting and the largest cabin of any aircraft in its class.
The Bombardier Global 5000 cabin features a total usuable cabin
volume of 1,882 cubic feet (53.29 cu. m), from the start of the
forward lavatory to the end of the pressurized compartment.
