Bombardier’s Global 7500 has set its 150th city-pair speed record, the most to date for a single business jet type, the company announced today. The milestone was reached as the ultra-long-range twinjet established speed records in city pairs that include Tokyo to Los Angeles, Toronto to Paris, New York to London, and Hong Kong to Montreal.
On 20 of the record-breaking missions, the aircraft averaged a speed exceeding 1,000 km/hour (about 540 knots). Most of the records have been accrued in the past couple of years as the aircraft fleet spooled up. More than 200 Global 7500s are now in service, logging more than 280,000 flight hours.
In addition to speed records, the Global 7500 has notched the longest flight recorded in business aviation, travelling 8,225 nm from Sydney to Detroit, as well as the longest nonstop mission from London City Airport to Los Angeles.
“Many of these records have been set with passengers on board in varying conditions and airports, making these achievements even more meaningful and reaching this pinnacle more remarkable,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, executive v-p of aircraft sales and Bombardier Defense.
The Global 7500, which has a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a maximum range of 7,700 nm, soon will be succeeded by the even more capable Global 8000, which will fly at Mach 0.94 and have an 8,000-nm maximum range.
