The Global 8000 is the newest and largest aircraft in Bombardier Aerospace’s Global family. In addition, it is an ultra-long-range, high-speed administrative plane. The Global 8000 can carry up to 13 passengers up to 7,900 nautical miles, like Los Angeles to Sydney, Stockholm to Buenos Aires, or Hong Kong to New York. However, despite the stated high standards and expectations around the Global 8000, it has not been put into service. Mass production was scheduled for 2017, but for now, the aircraft is considered a stalled project by Bombardier Aerospace.
The Global 8000 will have an all-new wing with high-speed near-sonic profiles that will significantly optimize aerodynamic efficiency. And new powerful engines and exhaust minimization will make it most attractive compared to others.
The business jet’s saloon is designed in three areas, for work, rest, and negotiations, ensuring a pleasant trip for every passenger. The in-flight kitchen and food storage containers are enlarged, the interior walls of the plane have been designed with electromagnetic windows, and large portholes will improve the natural lighting of the cabin.
