The first flight-test Bombardier Global 7000, dubbed FTV1, is assembled, complete with its GE Passport engines and wiring harnesses. It is “in the final stages of inspection" before power on, the company said. The wings and body of FTV2, one production stage behind FTV1, have been mated and component installation continues.

Amid intense scrutiny on its cash shortage issues, Bombardier displayed its first two Global 7000 flight-test vehicles to the press on November 3, and company executives emphasized that the “right resources” are in place to develop its new flagship business jet. “The 7000 is the number-one priority for Bombardier Business Aircraft and for me personally,” said David Coleal, who took over in May as president of the division.
