Overview

The Global Express is a large cabin, long range business jet designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aviation, whose intention was to achieve the longest possible range at the highest speed from a short runway, with 99.5 per cent despatch reliability. It has a wide body fuselage combining a Challenger cabin cross section with the cabin length of a regional jet; a semi-monocoque fuselage structure with two rear-mounted turbofan engines, low mounted wings, t-tail empennage and retractable tricycle-type landing gear. It can accommodate up to 23 passengers and crew. There is a flight-accessible baggage compartment at the rear of the cabin, and accommodation is heated, air conditioned and pressurised.

Bombardier’s Montreal facility is the design authority and manufactures the nose section and carries out interior completions. The rear fuselage, engine pylons and vertical stabiliser are manufactured in Toronto, which is also responsible for final assembly. Mitsubishi supplies the wings and centre fuselage, while Bombardier Northern Ireland designed and manufactures the forward fuselage, engine nacelle, horizontal stabiliser and other composite components. The aft fuselage is built in Mexico.

The Global Express is powered by two rear-mounted 65.6 kN Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 turbofans with FADEC. Fuel is contained in two integral wing tanks, a centre section tank and an auxiliary tank in the aft fuselage for a total standard capacity of 24,333 litres. An automatic fuel management system balances the quantities.

The aircraft was announced on 28 October, 1991 at the NBAA convention and a full scale cabin mock up was exhibited at NBAA the following year. The conceptual design started in early 1993 and the programme was launched on 20 December, 1993. The first prototype rolled out on 26 August, 1996 and performed its maiden flight from Toronto on 13 October, 1996. The aircraft made its public debut in November that year at NBAA.

Altogether, the prototype and three other aircraft undertook a 2,000 hour, 18 month flight test programme from Bombardier’s facility in Wichita. The second aircraft was used for systems evaluation and testing from 3 February, 1997. The third was used for avionics and autopilot testing and first flew on 22 April, 1997. The fourth was first flown on 8 September, 1997, the first to be fully outfitted, and was used for function and reliability testing.

Transport Canada type certification was awarded on 31 July, 1998. European and US approvals followed shortly afterwards in November. Certification was awarded by the JAA on 7 May, 1999 and by Germany’s Luftfahrt-Bundesamt on 26 May, 1999. The Global Express entered service in July 1999.

The Global Express XRS, announced at NBAA on 6 October, 2003, is an improved, ultra long range version of the original Global Express, with increased range at high speed, improved take off performance and new fast-refuelling technology. It also houses an additional forward fuelling tank in the wing/fuselage fairing, and zero-flap take off capability enhances hot and high performance with increased fuel load. Software upgrades to the fuel computer and structural changes reduce refuelling time by 15 minutes. The cabin features two additional windows, a redesigned floor plan and a 12 hour non-stop flight approved crew area.

The first two customer aircraft were delivered from the completion centre on 25 November and 6 December 2005, the latter entering service four days later.

On 11 August, 2005 Bombardier’s Enhanced Vision System was certified for use on the Global Express by Transport Canada on 11 August, 2005, by the FAA on 26 August 26 and by EASA on 16 September that same year. BEVS reduces the risk of controlled flight into terrain, runway incursions at night or during low visibility conditions and increases overall depth perception in difficult operating conditions and/or at unfamiliar airports.

The cabin volume for the Global XRS is 2,140 cubic ft. A typical configuration features 18 passenger seats with three crew. An aft lounge/bedroom can be closed off from the front portion of the cabin and it has its own independent entertainment system and temperature settings. The cabin pressurisation system maintains 4,500 ft cabin altitude while cruising at 45,000 ft. There are an additional two cabin windows along with enlarged window reveals that provide greater, unrestricted viewing and ambient lighting.

The Global Express XRS was rebranded as the Global 6000 in May 2011 with production starting in 2012. The cabin features two additional windows, a redesigned floor plan and a 12 hour non-stop flight-approved crew area.

The upgraded Global 6500 was revealed on 27 May, 2018 and was offered alongside the Global 6000. Developed in conjunction with the Global 5500, it had been given board approval in 2011 and had been under flight test at Wichita for several months.

It is powered by two R-R Pearl 15 turbofans, and fuel burn is decreased by 13 per cent compared to the 6000 while its maximum speed has increased to Mach 0.90 and its range extended by 1,300 nm from hot and high airports, to a maximum of 6,600 nm.

The cabin is based on that of the Global 7500.

Transport Canada certification was awarded on 24 September, 2019 with entry into service on 1 October and FAA and EASA approvals around the same time.
