Bombardier 75007/2/2023 ![]() ![]() īy October 2017, the four flight-test aircraft had flown 900 hours. On 15 August 2017, after "high vibration and high inter-turbine temperature readings", the second prototype's right GE Passport had an in-flight flameout at FL410 and the aircraft went back to Wichita Airport 156 nmi (290 km) away for a single engine landing. ![]() īy mid-July 2017, the three flight-test aircraft had accumulated 500 hours. The fifth has a slightly lighter production wing supplied by the Triumph Group, after a dispute over the wing weight was resolved. The fourth prototype, used for cabin interior validation, is called "The Architect" and the fifth and final, for the entry-into-service, is called "The Masterpiece". ![]() īy the end of May 2017, the three prototypes flew a combined 250 hours. FTV3 flew on May 10, 2017, "The Navigator" will be used to test the avionics and electrical system performance. FTV1 is used to open the performance envelope and reached Mach 0.995 on March 29, 2017. FTV2 flew on March 6, 2017, "The Powerhouse" is designed to test aircraft systems, including propulsion, electrical and mechanical systems. The production wing was in final design in February 2017. Dedicated to testing basic system functionality and assessing the handling and flying qualities of the aircraft, its maiden flight was performed on November 4, 2016, climbing to 20,000 feet (6,096 m) and reaching 240 knots during the 2 h 27 min flight. The first test aircraft underwent taxi testing in October 2016. Former Formula One driver and long time Bombardier brand ambassador Niki Lauda announced his order ahead of the EBACE 2015 convention. The 7500 fuselage is stretched by 11 ft 3 in (3.43 m) from the original Globalįormerly named Global 7000, its entry into service was initially scheduled for 2016. The airframe will use Aluminium–lithium alloys like the other airliner. The aircraft fly-by-wire system architecture is based on that of the CSeries. The goal of the redesign was to reduce the wing's weight without altering its aerodynamic profile. In 2015, Bombardier decided to redesign the aircraft's wing and, along other development challenges, delayed the programme by over two years. The Global 8000 was initially a shorter three-zone aircraft, but was updated in May 2022 as a longer-range 7500, reaching 8,000 nmi (14,800 km) and to be introduced in 2025.Īnnounced in October 2010, the jets were initially scheduled for introduction in 2016 for the 75 for the 8000. The 7500, originally named the 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.īased on the Global 6000 with a new transonic wing, and a cabin with 4 areas or "zones". The Bombardier Global 7500 and Global 8000 are ultra long-range business jets developed by Bombardier Aviation (formerly Bombardier Aerospace).Īnnounced in October 2010, the program was delayed by two years due to a wing redesign. ![]()
