The Bombardier Global 7500 and Global 8000 are ultra long-range business jets developed by Bombardier Aviation (formerly Bombardier Aerospace) and remain the largest business jets in the world. The Global 7500, originally named the Global 7000, made its first flight on November 4, 2016, was type certified by Transport Canada on September 28, 2018, and entered service on 20 December 2018.
The Global 7500 is a clean sheet design[5] with a new transonic wing and is the first purpose built business jet featuring a cabin with four-zone cabin.[6] The Global 7500 has a range of 7,700 nmi (14,300 km).
The Global 8000 was initially a shorter, three-zone aircraft but was updated in May 2022 as a four-zone jet similar to the Global 7500, reaching 8,000 nmi (14,800 km) and with a top speed of Mach 0.94, making it the fastest business jet and fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde. The Global 8000 is scheduled to be introduced in 2025.
