In more recent versions, the instrument panel is dominated by three large color displays arranged side-by-side-by-side. The cockpit seats its crew of two side-by-side and includes all-modern functionality. In-flight internet connectivity is available. The main cabin can further be separated from the entrance by a noise-reducing sliding door. The entry door is insulated and the cockpit divided from the passenger area by curtain. A fully galley with sink, oven, and chilled storage is included. Up to sixteen passengers can be carried in comfort though this depends entirely on configuration (face-to-face, side-by-side seating - some swiveling). Dimensions include a running length of 96.9 feet, a wingspan of 94 feet and a height of 25.5 feet. The undercarriage is a conventional, retractable tricycle arrangement for ground-running. The wing mainplanes are well-swept-back and capped by winglets for fuel efficiency and added control. This allows the engines to be fitted well-aft of center mass along the fuselage sides - and thereby reducing operating noise for the passengers within. The tail unit utilizes a "T-style" Multhopp unit with the horizontal planes set high to clear jet wash. Access doors are of the traditional hinged, rectangular offering. BOMBARDIER GLOBAL EXPRESS WINDOWSThe fuselage is tubular in the usual way and lined with windows on either side for passenger viewing. The line has spawned the Global 7500/8000 offshoots detailed elsewhere on this site.Īt its core, the Global Express sports a traditional bizjet design arrangement: the two-person flightdeck is seated over a short, pointed, downward-sloping nosecone offering good vision out-of-the-cockpit. BOMBARDIER GLOBAL EXPRESS SERIESProduction of the series has been ongoing since 1996. Approximately 750 of the type have been built into 2018 and, beyond their obvious civilian marketplace role, some have been modified to serve in various military roles. First-flying on October 13th, 1996 and introduced for service in 1997, the line has since expanded to include major offshoots in the models 5000, 5500, 6000, and 6500. The Bombardier Global Express is a series of twin-engined business jet (BizJet) aircraft produced by Bombardier Aerospace of Canada. ![]()
