Bombardier (TSX:BBD.A) has added over 25 new speed records for its Global 7500 business jet, which has held the record for the longest flight in business aviation history since October 2019, when it traveled 8,225 nautical miles from Sydney, Australia to Detroit, Michigan.
The aircraft features a top speed of Mach 0.925, a baseline range of 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km), allowing it to grow its record count by over 50 per cent since Stockhouse’s last report in August. Here are some of the more notable new records:
- Miami to São Paulo.
- Tokyo to Hong Kong (3 hours and 40 minutes).
- Tokyo to Los Angeles.
- New Delhi to Tokyo (7 hours).
- Jeddah to London.
- Los Angeles to Auckland (11 hours and 55 minutes).
Despite its highly decorated aircraft, Bombardier isn’t resting on its laurels as it ramps up manufacturing of the Global 8000, whose industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and top speed of Mach 0.94 will come to market in 2025.
