UPCOMING AIRCRAFT<br />
Global 5500 and Global 6500<br />
The Global 5500 and Global 6500 join the 7500 in Bombardier’s largecategory<br />
family. The two new aircraft build on the success of the Global<br />
5000 and Global 6000 by offering increased range, with 5,700nm and<br />
6,600nmm, respectively. While the 5500 connects Sao Paolo and Paris<br />
and Moscow and Los Angeles, the 6500 connects Hong Kong and<br />
London. These aircraft each reach top speeds of Mach 0.90, powered<br />
by brand-new Rolls-Royce Pearl engines. The new engines contribute<br />
to an additional 1,000-pounds of thrust and decreased fuel burn of up<br />
to 13 percent.<br />
Both the 5500 and 6500 offer open living spaces for up to 16 and<br />
17 passengers, respectively. Their spacious cabins offer a variety of<br />
configurations and a sleek design, each including a kitchen. The 6500<br />
also features a dedicated crew suite.<br />
Featuring the Bombardier Vision flight deck, the avionics in the Global<br />
5500 and Global 6500 offer improved capabilities combining synthetic<br />
and infrared enhanced vision onto the HUD giving pilots<br />
improved situational awareness and clears the way for smooth<br />
landings in difficult conditions.<br />
Expected to enter service at the end of 2019, the Global 5500<br />
and Global 6500 aircraft boast operating costs that rival all other<br />
aircraft in their class. Bombardier offers owners an extensive<br />
support system backed by a worldwide presence, including two<br />
service centers in Asia; one in Singapore and the other in Tianjin,<br />
China.<br />
