The first was delivered in December 2010 and the second is scheduled to be delivered in 2011. Qatar Airways placed an order for two aircraft in July 2010. The first Global 5000 aircraft was delivered in Argentina to an unidentified customer in June 2010. The aircraft was delivered in October 2005.īombardier delivered the first Global 5000 in mainland China to Reignwood Group in July 2009. In October 2004, the US FAA ordered a Global 5000 for use as an airborne laboratory for flight testing. In June 2011, a Bombardier Global 5000 equipped with an Electro-thermal Ice Protection System (EIPS) carried out several flight tests in icy conditions in Alaska.
The aircraft had four crew plus a 727kg payload (equivalent to eight passengers) and cruised at Mach 0.88. In June 2005, the Global 5000 set a new speed record for a business jet by flying 6,500km (3,510nm) non-stop from Chicago to Paris in seven hours 15 minutes. The range increase will be standard on all production aircraft from 2012. This has been achieved by raising the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) to 41,957kg, allowing a higher fuel capacity. In February 2008, Bombardier Aerospace announced that the range of the Global 5000 had been extended by 741km to 9,630km. Over 60 Global 5000 aircraft have been delivered. The aircraft complies with JAR OPS 1.245 ETOPS (extended-range twin-engine operation) 180 minutes guidelines for business jets. The aircraft entered service in April 2005, with a corporate customer in the Middle East. Transport Canada (TC) type certification was received in March 2004, European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) in July 2004 and US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in October 2004. The Global 5000 took its maiden flight in March 2003. Shortly after the announcement of the development programme, the TAG Aeronautics company placed the first order for the aircraft. A balanced field length of just 1,525m (5,000ft) is required for a maximum-range mission of 8,889km at speed Mach 0.85.īombardier Aerospace started a market evaluation and design study for a new long-range, high-speed business jet in 1999 and, by February 2002, the Global 5000 aircraft was formally launched. The take-off and landing strip requirements allow operators to land at smaller airfields closer to business areas. The Global 5000 design is a development of the proven high-reliability Global Express corporate business jet with a smaller airframe. The aircraft has a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.88 (935km/h).
The Bombardier Global 5000 is a super large business jet which, with a range of 8,889km (4,800nm), is capable of flying directly from continental Europe to Central USA at high speed. The Global 5000 is capable of flying non-stop from continental Europe to central North America at Mach 0.85 with eight passengers. The Global 5000 super-large business jet landing at Orlando Executive Airport for its debut at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Convention in October 2003. The first Global 5000 business jet takes off from Bombardier's Tucson completion centre, en route to its public debut in White Plains, New York, on 11 June 2003. The first Bombardier Global 5000 business jet (serial number 9127) successfully completed its first flight on 7 March 2003.
