Bombardier Global 7500 sets Montreal-Paris speed record
Bombardier’s flagship Global 7500 set a new speed record from Montreal, Canada to Paris-Le Bourget Airport.
The jet hit a top speed of more than 1,000 km/hr during its flight to the International Paris Air Show in France, completing the record in five hours, 30 minutes.
“The Global 7500 performs at the highest levels across the board, in real-world situations,” said Éric Martel, president and CEO of Bombardier.
“Bombardier takes great pride in completing meaningful speed records, like this latest one, during regular day-to-day operations with passengers, baggage and cargo, setting it apart from peers.
“As we are getting ready for the entry into service of the Global 8000 aircraft later this year, the Global 7500 aircraft keeps demonstrating its superiority on all fronts, from its signature smooth ride to its industry-leading performance and landing capabilities.”
The Global 7500 recently reclaimed the speed record from Paris to Montreal, completing the flight in under six hours hours.
The jet comes with a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a range of 7,700 nautical miles, enabling connections between Singapore and major cities like San Francisco, London, Hong Kong, New York, Tokyo, and Melbourne.
The aircraft houses Bombardier’s advanced Smooth Flĕx Wing technology which minimises drag, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers emissions, while delivering an exceptionally smooth ride.
