Bombardier Global 7500 Sets 75th Speed Record

Business Aircraft Reaches Speeds Up To Mach 0.925

Bombardier’s Global 7500 is racking up titles, recently bringing home its 75th speed record. The business jet is capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 0.925 and flying for 7,700 nm at a time.

The new speed records were all a part of crucial city connections. They include Miami to São Paulo, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Tokyo to San Jose, Jeddah to London, and Los Angeles to Auckland. These achievements are just the icing on the cake to the Global 7500’s impressive history. In 2019, the aircraft completed an 8,225 nm flight from Sydney, Australia to Detroit, Michigan, marking the longest documented business aviation flight.

“What’s even more impressive about these records is they are flown as part of routine aircraft movements, including some missions that have passengers onboard,” stated Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive VP of Aircraft Sales and Bombardier Defense. “We have on more than one occasion been thrilled to have customers and prospects be aboard for the record setting city pairs.”

The Global 7500’s Mach 0.925 top speed and 7,700 nautical mile baseline range make it a popular choice for long-haul business flights. The aircraft required just 3 hours and 40 minutes to fly from Tokyo to Hong Kong, 7 hours from New Delhi to Tokyo, and 11 hours and 55 minutes from Los Angeles to Auckland in 11 hours and 55 minutes. Nearly 200 are in service and have accumulated upwards of 200,000 flight hours.

One feature partially responsible for the Global 7500’s speed is its Smooth Flex Wing. The slats and flap structure acts as an “in-air shock absorber” that assists in “maximizing aerodynamic efficiency and boosting performance while improving safety and offering the industry’s smoothest ride,” Bombardier explained.

The Global 7500 will be taken and upgraded for Bombardier’s new Global 8000 jet. This is slated to generate a range of 8,000 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.94. The manufacturer hopes to move the 8000 into service in 2025.
