Bombardier Starts Assembly of Major Structures on the Global 7000
and Global 8000 Aircraft Program
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) - Bombardier
Aerospace today announced the achievement of key product
development milestones on the Global 7000 and Global
8000 aircraft program with the start of production and
assembly of major structures for the first Flight Test Vehicle
(FTV1) of the Global 7000 and Global 8000
aircraft program.
"We are entering an exciting phase of the Global 7000
and Global 8000 aircraft program," said Bassam Sabbagh,
Vice President and General Manager, Global 7000 and
Global 8000 aircraft program. "The program is progressing
well in the detailed design phase (DDP) with the majority of the
production drawings already released. The start of assembly of our
first major structures represents a significant step forward."
Structural and system suppliers, as well as various Bombardier
Aerospace manufacturing sites, are engaged in manufacturing parts
and major structures for FTV1. The rear fuselage and cockpit are
currently being assembled at Bombardier Aerospace's manufacturing
facilities in Querétaro, Mexico, and St-Laurent, Canada,
respectively. The centre fuselage is being assembled at Aerolia's
manufacturing facility in Méaulte, France, and the wing is being
assembled at Triumph's facility in Red Oak, Texas.
Set to enter-into-service in 2016 and 2017 respectively, the new
Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft exemplify
Bombardier's visionary thinking. Both jets will have the ability to
reach more destinations non-stop than ever before, delivering
unprecedented levels of performance, flexibility and comfort.
Global 7000 aircraft: The Global 7000 aircraft
will set the standard for a new category of large business jets
with the first true four-zone cabin. Passengers flying on the
Global 7000 aircraft will experience a spectacularly
spacious cabin, coupled with a superior high-speed cruise of M
0.90*. The Global 7000 aircraft will have a range of 7,300
nm (13,520 km)*.
Global 8000 aircraft: The Global 8000
aircraft will be the world's farthest-range business jet with an
incredible 7,900 nm (14,631km)*. With its superior three-zone cabin
design and an unsurpassed M 0.90* high-speed cruise ability,
passengers will fly in ultimate comfort between cities, such as Los
Angeles and Sydney* or Geneva and Shanghai*.
