The Bombardier Global 7000 and Global 8000 are ultra long-range business jets under development by Bombardier Aerospace, announced in October 2010 and initially scheduled for introduction in 2016 for the 7000 and 2017 for the 8000.[4] The program has been delayed by 2 years and entry into service for the Global 7000 is expected in 2018.[3] The 7000 made its first flight on November 4, 2016.[1]
Design and development
Both are derivatives of the Global 6000 with a 11 ft. 3 in. stretch for 7000, and 2 ft. 3 in. for 8000; and a new transonic wing[5]
Global 7000
The Global 7000 is planned to have a four-zone cabin, with a volume of 2,637 cu.ft. (74.67 cu.m.), 20 percent more than the cabin of the current model. The aircraft is planned to have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90 and a range of 7,300 nmi (13,520 km) at Mach 0.85. It will be powered by the next-generation General Electric Passport 20 16,500 lbf (73 kN) thrust engine to deliver efficiency and emissions advantages, expected to show reduced NOx emissions and an eight per cent increase in overall fuel efficiency when compared to the industry leading Global Express XRS aircraft. It is planned to be able to fly from London to Kuala Lumpur, New York to Dubai, or Beijing to Washington non-stop with 10 passengers. Entry into service was initially scheduled for 2016.[4]
Former Formula One driver Niki Lauda, a long time brand ambassador for Bombardier, announced placing an order for this model ahead of EBACE 2015 convention.[6] In 2015 Bombardier decided to redesign its wing, and along other development challenges it has delayed the programme by over two years.[3] The first test aircraft was undergoing taxi testing in October 2016, with the first delivery scheduled for the second half of 2018.[2] Its maiden flight was performed on November 4th 2016, climbing to 20,000 feet (6,096 m) and reaching 240 knots during 2 h 27 mn.[1]
Global 8000
The Global 8000, planned to be able to fly farther than any other existing business jet, will feature a three-zone 2,236 cu.ft. (63.32 cu.m.) cabin and a range of 7,900 nmi (14,631 km) at Mach 0.85. It will also be powered by the next-generation GE Passport 20 engine with 16,500 lbf (73 kN) of thrust. It is planned to be able to connect Sydney to Los Angeles, Hong Kong to New York, and Mumbai to New York non-stop with eight passengers, and to reach a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90. Like the Global 7000, the Maximum operating speed of the 8000 is Mach 0.925. Entry into service was initially scheduled for 2017.[4] The programme schedule is delayed over two years, pushing Global 8000 deliveries to early 2019.[3]
Orders
While Bombardier is not publishing a specific backlog, industry analyst Rolland Vincent was estimating that 200 orders were accumulated at the time of first flight in November 2016, mostly the 7000.[7]
