Bombardier added a speed record to the rapidly growing Global 7500 stash while travelling from Montréal to Paris for the airshow this week. The ultra-long-range business jet departed from Pierre Elliott Trudeau International and landed at Paris-Le Bourget Airport 5 hours, 30 minutes later after reaching a top speed of more than 1,000 kph.
The record is among the more than 100 that Bombardier’s flagship has set, many of which have come in the past couple of years. A few weeks ago, the aircraft reclaimed its speed record from Paris to Montréal, completing the mission in less than six hours. It also has set a record for the longest missions flown by a purpose-built business jet with an 8,225-nm journey from Sydney to Detroit.
“Bombardier takes great pride in completing meaningful speed records, like this latest one, during regular day-to-day operations with passengers, baggage, and cargo, setting it apart from peers,” said company president and CEO Éric Martel. These come as Bombardier prepares to enter service with the even speedier Global 8000, which can fly at Mach 0.94 and travel 8,000 nm versus the 7500’s top speed of Mach 0.925 and 7,700-nm range.
This week at the Paris Air Show, Bombardier’s presence is anchored by its defense business, a growing area for the company that is poised to reach up to $1.5 billion in annual revenues by the end of the decade.
