Aircraft / Bombardier Global 7500/8000
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Bombardier Global 8000 are ultra long range twin engine business jets designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace since 2016.
First announced in 2010, the Global 7500 was developed from the prior generation Bombardier Global 6000, the last of the original Bombardier Global Express business jet series. Originally named the Global 7000, the project was renamed the Global 7500 following an extensive wing redesign that gave the new aircraft transonic capabilities. The Global 7500 was built to contain 4 distinct cabin zones, and made its first flight in November 2016, and entered formal production in December 2018.
A 2nd variant, the Bombardier Global 8000, was initially intended to be a 3 cabin zone version of the Global 7500, but in May 2022 the type was updated to become a longer range variant of the 7500, with an 8,000 nm range. The Global 8000 is currently undergoing its certification processes and is expected to enter production in 2025.
