The Bombardier Global Express was the first of four business jet models by Bombardier Aviation designed for the ultra-long-range, large-cabin market. Introduced in October 1991, it took its first flight on October 13, 1996, and received Canadian type certification in July 1998. The Global Express boasts a range of 6,700 nautical miles at Mach 0.80, enabling long-distance flights with just one refueling stop. Inspired by the Canadair CL-600 and Bombardier CRJ, it features a similar fuselage cross-section, T-tail, and wings. The flexible wing design and best-in-class wing loading ensure a smooth ride, even in turbulence. Equipped with six 8 inch by 7 inch high resolution CRT multifunctional displays, Honeywell Primus 2000 XP EFIS suite, the cockpit includes a GPS receiver, avionic computers, comm radios, and a triple LASEREF IV inertial reference system. It has since been retrofitted with the Global Vision Flight Deck that was certified in 2010. The Bombardier Global Express offers one of the largest cabins in its class, seating up to 14 passengers, with additional seats in the enclosed lavatory and crew area. The baggage hold accommodates 15 suitcases and is accessible during flight. The aircraft is powered by two Rolls-Royce BR710-A2-20 engines, each providing 14,750 lbs of thrust, the jet achieves a combined fuel consumption of 486 gallons per hour. The engines feature full authority digital engine control (FADEC) and thrust reversers developed by International Nacelle Systems. The aircraft is capable of using first class, second class and even remote airports. The Bombardier Global Express connects distant cities like Sydney and Singapore, Los Angeles and Tokyo, or Paris and Johannesburg, making it a leader in ultra-long-range business aviation. The jet can reach a ceiling of 51,000 feet, typically cruising at 42,000 feet. It climbs to 37,000 feet in approximately 19 minutes. Nearly all remain in operation, with 9.5% currently for sale. North America operates 61% of the fleet, Europe 21%, and Asia 8%. Production of the Bombardier Global Express ended in 2006, with 150 jets built.
