Bombardier Global is the marketing name of 1996 produced family of twin-engine, long-haul rapid business aircraft in low-wing interpretation of the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace , which is mainly due to different ranges, avionics equipment are different and torso lengths. The internal designation of the type is BD700 .

In addition to the civilian types Global Express , Global Express XRS , Global 6000 , Global 5000 , Global 6500 , Global 7500 and Global 8000, there are among others the military versions Raytheon Sentinel R1 and Bombardier E-11A , in which either reconnaissance sensors are integrated into the fuselage, to enable reconnaissance of air or ground targets (Sentinel) or there are possibilities for data transmission between ground units and satellites (E-11A).

In terms of size and range, the Global family competes with the G650 and G550 models from the US Gulfstream group.

Global Express / Global Express XRS / Global 6000 / Global 5000

Bombardier Global 5000

Before the announcement of a new business jet with intercontinental range under the name Global Express in 1991, Bombardier carried out various studies, which led to the fact that a market was seen for this segment. That is why two years later the construction of the aircraft - the first one developed by Bombardier alone - was officially decided. Foreign partners took part in half of the development; Rolls-Royce, for example, was responsible for the engines. The first flight of the prototype took place on October 13, 1996, the delivery began in 1999. From 2004 the shorter Global 5000 was offered, which compared to the 6000 version lacks an additional tank in the rear fuselage. Since mid-2009, however, Bombardier has been offering a conversion option that increases the range of the Global 5000 to 5200 NM (9630 km) by increasing the maximum take-off weight to 41,958 kg (92,500 lb ).

On the Global Express XRS , another tank was installed in the transition from the wing to the fuselage, so that the range increased by approx. 500 to 6000 nautical miles. With the new avionics Bombardier Vision Flight Deck , derived from the Rockwell Collins ProLine Fusion , available from 2012 , the designation was changed to Global 6000 . Since around 2012, every newly built Global 5000 (from serial number 9435) has been delivered with the Bombardier Vision Flight Deck , without the name having changed.

Global 7000/7500 / Global 8000

Prototype of the Global 7500 at the EBACE trade fair in Geneva , 2018

In October 2010, Bombardier announced that it would manufacture two new types , the Global 7000 and the Global 8000 . The Global 7000 was originally supposed to go into service in 2016, but due to delays in development, this date was postponed to 2018. The first Global 7000 with the registration number C-GLBO was registered at Transport Canada at the beginning of September 2016 ; the first flight took place on November 4, 2016. In 2018, in the run-up to the European Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition, the Global 7000 was renamed Global 7500 (based on a standard established by the American FAA) and two medium-sized models Global 5500 and Global 6500 were presented. The Global 8000 should have a shortened hull, but allow a range of 7,900 nautical miles.

During the flight tests, which began in November 2016, the Global 7500 was able to achieve a range of 7700 nautical miles (including the required fuel reserves), so that, for example, the route Montreal - Beijing could be reached non-stop. The new price is quoted at USD 72 million. The type received its approval from the authorities in October 2018. The first Bombardier Global 7500 was delivered to an anonymous customer at the end of 2018. The first Global 7500 to be registered in Europe was handed over to the former Formula 1 driver Niki Lauda in March 2019 and entered in the Austrian aircraft register. Bombardier planned to deliver between 15 and 20 aircraft in 2019.

In addition to a renewed increase in coverage is the biggest difference of the Global 7500 over their predecessors that they have a fly-by-wire flight control system has derived from the Airbus A220 (formerly Bombardier CSeries) adopted, whereby the control wheel in favor of a so-called side-stick is eliminated . During testing, one of the prototypes set a new range record on the route Singapore - Tucson , Arizona (8,152  NM (approx. 15,100  km ), 16:07 h) in early 2019 ; the flight was surpassed a short time later by a Gulfstream G650 , which covered a longer distance (8,379 NM (approx. 15,520 km), the aircraft did not fly directly, but on airways ) and in a shorter time (15:23 h). In October 2019, Bombardier managed another flight from Sydney to Detroit over 8,225 NM (approx. 15,230 km).

Global 5500/6500

At EBACE 2018, two new Global models below the 7500/8000 were presented, which will replace the Global 5000 and 6000. They will be equipped with Rolls-Royce Pearl engines and have ranges of around 10,000 and 12,000 km respectively. Transport Canada approved the new versions on September 30, 2019, the European aviation authority EASA followed on October 15, 2019. Approval by the US Federal Aviation Administration took place in late December 2019. The Global 5500 will be available for the first time around mid-2020 put into service to an unnamed customer.

Maritime patrol aircraft

In February 2015, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) introduced a Maritime Patrol Aircraft version based on the Global 5000, known as the ELI-3360 . There are currently no buyers for this version.

Internal names and ICAO codes of the Global family

designation	Intern	ICAO
Global 5000 Global 5500	BD-700-1A11	GL5T
Global Express Global Express XRS Global 6000 Global 6500	BD-700-1A10	GLEX
Global 7500	BD-700-2A12	GL7T

The aircraft of the Global family are business jets with strong sweep wings for high cruising speeds and a pressurized cabin that allows flights up to 51,000  ft (approx. 15,540  m ). The fuselage is composed primarily of aluminum , steel , titanium and composite materials . The wing is made entirely of aluminum, the spoilers , wing flaps and winglets are made of graphite . The aircraft has an entrance on the left side of the fuselage front ( "passenger door"), further even a smaller door at the rear below the left engine for loading ( "baggage door") and an emergency exit ( "emergency exit door") right on the Side above the wing.

Engines

Two BR700 engines (Global 5000/6000: Rolls-Royce BR710, Global 5500/6500: Rolls-Royce Pearl 15, Global 7500: GE Passport) power the aircraft, but also provide energy for three hydraulic systems , four Generators with 40 kVA each and the air conditioning with one pack each . If both engines fail, a ram-air turbine is also available, which extends from the right side of the fuselage below the cockpit and ensures the emergency supply. To shorten the landing distance, the engines have reverse thrust with two reverse doors at the top and bottom , which are hydraulically driven into the thrust jet of the engine. The performance of the engines is controlled by a digital automatic control system ( FADEC ), the aircraft has autothrottle , the automatic control of a speed set by the crew or a set thrust value (e.g. maximum available thrust when climbing). An auxiliary power unit (APU) also supplies its own generator on the ground, the air conditioning system and a hydraulic pump via the generator. Protection against icing in flight is ensured by bleeding air from the two engines, which is directed into the slats and the nose of the engine nacelles.

control

In addition to elevators , rudder and ailerons , flight controls also include a total of six pairs of spoilers . Of these, the outer four are each so-called multifunction spoilers , which can be used both to increase resistance and thus to reduce speed and are automatically activated to support the ailerons. After touching down, the two inner spoilers also extend as ground spoilers to reduce lift and speed. The deflection of the ailerons on the Global 7500 is controlled by a function of the flight speed, so that at higher speeds (> 295  kn (approx. 550  km / h )) only the inner ailerons are operated and in a transition area (295–275 kn , (approx. 550–510 km / h)) only partially deflect the outer control surfaces in order to prevent overloading the aircraft. The fly-by-wire control (FBW) limits the roll angle to a maximum of 80 °; if the angle is increased to more than 30 °, the aircraft automatically steers back to this value. When landing, the FBW automatically lowers the nose in the direction of the runway, while the pilot holds the sidestick in a neutral position.

Buoyancy aids

The flaps on the wing tips can be set to one of four positions for take-off and landing: 0 °, 6 °, 16 ° and 30 °. Only the last position is permitted for landings; the slats must be extended before the flaps are extended. According to the manufacturer, take-offs (sea level, standard temperature, maximum take-off weight) are possible over a distance of around 1,900 meters and landings over a distance of 900 meters.

Avionics

When they were put into service, all the family's aircraft were equipped with the Avionics Suite Primus 2000 from the manufacturer Honeywell , consisting of six vertically arranged displays with a diagonal of 10.6 inches , initially as cathode ray tubes , later as LCD screens . From 2012, however, the Vision Flight Deck will be used in all aircraft , which was derived from the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion and now consists of four horizontally arranged 15.1 inch screens, and generally includes additional (small) displays over which, for example, the radio frequencies can be set. A head-up display is available on the left side of the cockpit . A weather radar in the aircraft nose ( phased array ) is supposed to indicate in good time any dangers that might arise from a thunderstorm cell .

landing gear

The landing gear consists of two main landing gears, each with two tires, which are pulled into the wing, and a nose wheel, which is pulled into the nose. During the flight, all landing gear parts are locked by landing gear doors. The aircraft is controlled on the ground by its own steering wheel via the nose landing gear, while the main landing gear is braked by carbon brakes . The temperature of the brakes is monitored and displayed in the cockpit.
