This New Bombardier Business Jet Can Travel From LA to Moscow Nonstop - Rob Report
The first Global 5500 business jet has entered into service, after completion at the Bombardier manufacturing facility in Wichita, Kansas. The Global 5500 has a 5,900-nautical mile range—200 nautical miles more than originally planned—and 700 more nautical miles than its nearest competitor at the same speed. In announcing the delivery, Bombardier said the new owner is an “undisclosed customer.”
The impressive range gives the business jet the ability to connect from Sao Paulo to Paris, or Los Angeles to Moscow nonstop. The 5500’s Rolls Royce Pearl engines deliver a top speed of Mach 0.90. It has an optimized wing with a reprofiled trailing edge to deliver a smoother ride.
The 5500 also has the widest cabin in its class, measuring 7’11”, with a cabin height of 6’2”, and length of 40’9”. It’s unclear how many seats this particular Global 5500 has on board, because the customer wanted to keep that information private, but the aircraft’s generic interior can seat up to 16 passengers.
