Bombardier’s Global 7500 Now Certified

The Global 7500, the largest jet in Bombardier’s fleet, is now certified by Transport Canada, the company has announced. The jet is the longest-range and largest purpose-built business jet in the market, second only to repurposed airliners like those sold by Boeing Business Jets. The stand-up cabin is 8 feet wide and more than 54 feet long, with a typical capacity of just 19 passengers. Two GE Passport jet engines provide the power.

The flight deck is equipped with fly-by-wire technology, flight envelope protections, synthetic and enhanced vision systems, and a layout intended to maximize ergonomic comfort for the crew. It flies at speeds up to Mach 0.925 and has a maximum range of 7,700 nm. (The jet was known as the 7000 before it was renamed the 7500, to reflect its confirmed range of 7,700 nm). Courtesy of AVweb.
