Super Powered Performance: Why the Bombardier Global 7500 and 8000 Redefine Business Aviation

Bombardier’s Global 7500 and upcoming Global 8000 are not only the most spacious ultra-long-range business jets, but also lead the industry in short-field performance and versatility.

Speed, Range, and Reach

The Global 7500 boasts a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a range of 7,700 nautical miles, connecting city pairs like Singapore to San Francisco or New York to New Delhi. The forthcoming Global 8000, entering service in 2025, will push these limits further with a top speed of Mach 0.94 and 8,000 nm range—the fastest and farthest of any business jet in its class.

Unmatched Short-Field Capabilities

Unlike typical ultra-long-range jets, Bombardier’s Global series can operate from short and challenging runways such as St. Moritz, Lugano, East Hampton, and London City Airport—previously accessible only to smaller jets. This breakthrough opens access to highly desirable but hard-to-reach destinations.

Wing Innovation: Smooth Flĕx Wing Design

The aircraft’s secret lies in its Smooth Flĕx Wing:

• Leading-edge slats increase lift at low speeds.
• Fowler flaps on the trailing edge enhance control and reduce drag.
• High-speed ailerons ensure precise handling.

These features deliver a smoother ride, greater fuel efficiency, and the ability to land on runways as short as 1,380 feet.
