Bombardier has reduced the cabin altitude of its Global 8000 to 2,691 feet at FL410, a threshold the Canadian manufacturer claims as the lowest in the industry.&nbsp; Announcement of the reduced cabin altitude—which compares with the 2,900 feet of the ultra-long-range twinjet’s Global 7500 predecessor—comes as the aircraft approaches certification and just weeks after Bombardier confirmed a Mach 0.95 top speed for the Global 8000, another high watermark in the business aviation sector.
Bombardier stressed the cabin altitude's importance for passenger well-being. “The ultimate comfort in the sky is feeling like you’re at home. We have focused heavily on elevating the passenger experience, imperative priorities for ultra-long-range travel,” said Stephen McCullough, senior v-p of engineering and product development at Bombardier.
Along with the lower cabin altitude, Bombardier incorporates a Pũr Air system with HEPA air filtration for fresh air onboard the long flights.
Bombardier said the Global 8000 remains on track to enter service by year-end.
