Each aircraft offers cabin improvements (inspired by the Global 7500), and utilize the same Rolls-Royce BR710 Pearl engines bringing greater fuel efficiency, better hot and high performance and extra range over the Global 5000 and Global 6000.īoth the Global 5500 and Global 6500 entered the market in 2019, and can fly 5,700nm and 6,600nm, respectively, helping fill market gaps between the Global 50 (in the case of the Global 5500), and the Global 60 (in the case of the Global 6500). At the time of writing, the 7,900nm Global 8000 remained a long way off certification, and flight testing had not yet started.Īs the Global 7500 neared its certification and entry into the market, in 2018 Bombardier also announced the new Global 5500 and Global 6500 jets. The aircraft offers a range of 7,700nm with four distinct cabin zones for passenger comfort, and first began delivering in 2018. The Global 7500 (originally named the Global 7000) first flew in 2016. Production of the Global 5000 and Global 6000 continues today, but Bombardier has continued to establish, expand and develop its Global product line in other areas, aiming to fill all of the gaps in the large jet market.įor example, as the battle for the longest-range business jet in the industry continued to rage, Bombardier chose its Global business jet line to provide an answer to Gulfstream’s G650ER, introducing a pair of new jets – the Global 7500 and Global 8000 in 2010. Compared to the original Global Express, the XRS model offered more fuel capacity (which enabled a longer range of 6,305nm), and a swept wing design that helped improve the model’s climb performance.Īfter 2006, Bombardier stopped producing the original Global Express, and then in 2012 it upgraded the flight deck of the Global Express XRS, and the company essentially re-branded the aircraft as the Global 6000.īombardier Globals - Filling the gaps in the Large Jet market Then, a year later, further expansion was made to the Bombardier Global family when the Global Express XRS was introduced. The Global Express proved to be a hit within the market, and the company expanded the product line with the Global 5000 – a 5,200nm shorter-range variant – in 2003. The Global Express shared its cabin cross-section dimensions with the Bombardier Challenger 600 large jet, but included a new wing and tail design.

Several private jets compete with Bombardier Global jet models, including various by Dassault Falcon and Gulfstream. Which jets compete with Bombardier Global models?.
