In contrast with the Falcon 900EX, the 5000’s seated area is 48 inches larger, 6 in wider at centerline and more than 8 in wider at floorline.īombardier won’t reveal sales figures on the Global 5000, but they’ve delivered more than 140 Global Expresses and it’s my feeling that the 5000 may do even better. It’s also wider by 10 in at centerline and by 17 in at floorline. Compared to the G450, the 5000’s seated area is 20 inches larger. Other things being equal, cabin space is what corporate jet owners are looking for and they’ll certainly get it with the Global 5000. Bouliane explained that fuel capacity and MTOW were ratcheted down in the interests of product differentiation and in order to achieve 4800 nm at Mach 0.85 with 8 passengers. Range has been reduced by 1350 nm from that of the Global Express XRS. Fuel capacity has been reduced by 7600 lb. While the Global Express and the 5000 share the same wing and same 14,750-lb-thrust Rolls- Royce Deutschland BR710s, MTOW has been reduced by 8300 lb from 96,000 lb to 87,700 lb. Adding to cabin comfort, the Global 5000 comes complete with forward and aft Envirovac vacuum lavs, Goodrich-Hella LED cabin lighting, new waste and water management systems and new design seating. Standard equipment includes a local area network (LAN) and multichannel satellite communication inter- faces with Inmarsat Aero H+ and Swift64 communications, as well as Iridium service. It will also, apparently, be the first purpose-built corporate aircraft capable of data transfer speeds up to 5 MB per second. The 5000 incorporates the first Ethernet-based Rockwell Collins Airshow 21 application in corporate aviation. Bombardier is particularly proud of the 3-zone Global 5000 cabin-42 ft 6 in by 8 ft 2 in-and of the fact that it’s engineered to be among the most effective offices in the sky.

All 4 regulatory agencies awarded the Global 5000 a common type rating with the Global Express, so that no differences training, or additional simulator procedures, are required to transition between the 2 aircraft.īouliane explained that the Global 5000 was designed to fly nonstop from continental Europe to central North America at Mach 0.85 with 8 passengers and to fly transcontinental at Mach 0.89. The Global 5000 achieved Transport Canada certification on Mar 12, 2004, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification on Jul 15, JAA certification on Aug 24 and FAA FAR Part 25 certification on Sep 20.

Bombardier Mgr Product Planning Global Family Marc Bouliane gave me a full briefing on the Global 5000 program and I had the pleasure of flying with Bombardier Demonstration Pilot Peter Boyd, a very capable pilot who’s been with the Global 5000 program since the beginning. I had the opportunity to flight test the Global 5000 just after NBAA in Las Vegas NV. In fact, this aircraft may be such a good deal that it will compete with pre-owned Global Expresses and the new $45.5- million Global Express XRS as well as its intended targets, the G450 and Falcon 900EX.
And, when you can save millions over a Global Express, yet have the same wing, engines, thrust ratings and seated area, it has the potential to be a surefire winner.Īs Bombardier has eliminated the 32-inch section from the galley and crew rest area, passengers won’t notice much cabin difference over the Global Express. For operators who fly predominantly transcontinental, or to Europe and South America, 4800 nm is all the range you need. The evolving super large business jet segment has become one of the hottest sectors of the market. The end result is the largest cabin in its class, 4800-nm range at Mach 0.85 and the same wing as the Global Express with its superb high and low speed characteristics. After removing 32 inches of fuselage, and 7600 lb of fuel, from the standard Global Express, the manufacturer has dropped the price about $10 million over its larger cousin to achieve a price point that competes head on with the Dassault Falcon 900EX and Gulfstream G450. Introduced in Feb 2002 and FAA certified this October, Bombardier’s Global 5000 is one of the more interesting business aircraft to enter the marketplace in recent years.
