Development of the Global 7500 began in the early 2010s. The goal was to create a new ultra-long-range business jet that would offer record-setting speed, range, and comfort. It made its first flight in November 2016.
In AIN, Matt Thurber writes, “When Bombardier announced two new jets in the Global series—the Global 7000 and 8000—in 2010, the clear intention was that the Canadian manufacturer planned to take away the mantle of building the largest purpose-built business jet from Gulfstream Aerospace’s 7,500-nm G650ER. Originally the two new airplanes were meant to complement each other, with the larger 7000 projected to fly 7,400 nm while the shorter 8000 would fly the farthest at 7,900 nm. But times, and markets, change. Bombardier engineers carved out 300 nm more range for the 7000—for a Mach .85 NBAA IFR range of 7,700 nm—and the jet’s moniker was changed to Global 7500.”
The cabin has a 6.2 feet height, a width of 8.0 feet, and a length of 54.5 feet. It provides multiple layout options in up to five zones.
Flying magazine writes, “The cabin is 12 feet longer than the interior of a Global 6500, providing space for four cabin sections plus a full-size crew rest compartment up front. And it’s not just about what this luxury aircraft can do in the air, but how well it cossets passengers in the process. This begins with offering them more cabin window area than any other large-cabin aircraft. The transparencies are substantially larger than the Airbus-size windows on other Globals, so the interior is flooded with bright ambient light. Bombardier’s Soleil cabin lighting system automatically adjusts the intensity and color of the interior lights throughout the flight to help passengers adjust to time zone changes by the simulating day, dusk, night, and dawn ambient light conditions.”
The Global has a maximum range of up to 7,700 nautical miles (8,861 miles). It has a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.925 and can fly at a maximum altitude of 51,000 feet. It set a world record by flying nonstop from Singapore to Tucson, Arizona, covering 8,152 nautical miles (9,350 miles) in 16 hours and 6 minutes. It landed with 4,300 pounds of fuel to spare. That’s enough to fly for another 90 minutes.
The price for a new Global 7500 is $81 million.
