History

With the announcement of a new business aircraft with intercontinental range under the name Bombardier Global Express 1991 led by various studies which meant that you could see a market for this segment. Therefore, two years later, the construction of the aircraft, by the way of the first, has developed the Bombardier alone, officially decided. The development took part in half and foreign partners, as was, for example, Rolls- Royce for the engines responsible. The first flight of the prototype took place on 13 October 1996. Wanting In October 2010, Bombardier announced two new types, the Global 7000 and Global 8000, produce. The Global 7000 is to be put into service in 2016.

Specifications

The aircraft has a two-man cockpit, which is equipped with a Honeywell Primus 2000XP avionics suite. A modified version with shorter fuselage and lower range (lower tank capacity by eliminating a second hull tanks) under the name Global 5000 on the market. The Global Express XRS is the direct successor of the not -built Global Express. Technically, the planes are almost the same, only the XRS has a higher fuel capacity and can therefore continue to fly about 500 NM. The Global 5000 has a range of about 4800 NM and is slightly shorter (about 90 cm) than the other two models. Bombardier has since mid-2009, however, a retooling of, with by increasing the maximum take-off mass of 41,958 kg, the range of the Global 5000 to 5200 NM ( 9630 km ) is increased. Four machines of this type are available for the flight readiness of the Armed Forces are available. The commissioning was completed with the delivery of the fourth machine (code 14 04 ) in January 2012.
