Global 6500 Aircraft Shines in Las Vegas as it Makes Worldwide Debut at NBAA-BACE 2019
October 22 2019 - 7:22PM
Following the dramatic unveiling of the Global 5500 and Global 6500
aircraft in 2018 at the European Business Aviation Convention in
Geneva, Bombardier debuted less than 18 months later, the all-new
Global 6500 aircraft, the latest addition to the award-winning and
record-breaking Global family, at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Joining the Global 6500 aircraft, is a stellar lineup of Bombardier
aircraft on static display, including the industry flagship, Global
7500 aircraft.
“We are proud to present our lineup of extraordinary business
jets in Las Vegas, particularly our new Global 6500 and Global 7500
business jets, which redefine the standard in the industry for
unparalleled cabin comfort, advanced technology and unrivalled
performance,” said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Aviation.
“Game-changing aircraft like these make for an aviation experience
that is second to none, and the Bombardier team has set the bar to
new heights when it comes to performance and on-time
entry-into-service.”
The Pearl 15 engine, the latest addition to Rolls-Royce’s
market-leading business aviation engine portfolio, was developed at
the Rolls-Royce Centre of Excellence for Business Aviation engines
in Dahlewitz, Germany, and was custom-designed with the most
advanced technology – including enhanced aerodynamics, blade
cooling and advanced engine health monitoring systems – to power
the Global 5500 and Global 6500 aircraft. With the purpose-built
engines, advanced wing design and built-in systems redundancy and
robustness for which Bombardier Global aircraft are renowned, the
aircraft offer a superior safety and a smooth ride to its
passengers.
The Global 6500 aircraft offers a stunning redesigned cabin with
exclusive features that are as innovative as they are luxurious.
The Global 6500 business jet also debuts the Nuage chaise, business
aviation’s first and only lounge chair that converts into a flat
surface for sleeping or banquet-style dining around the conference
grouping table. Within the fluid lines of its exceptionally crafted
architecture is a marvel of furniture engineering, meticulously
designed to maximize comfort in flight. Bombardier's patented Nuage
seat is also exclusive to the new Global aircraft family. With its
distinctive technology, the Nuage seat is ideally suited for
long-range flights.
The new aircraft builds on the success of the Global 6000
aircraft by offering 600 nautical miles of additional range,
coupled with an up to 13-per-cent fuel burn advantage, contributing
to highly favorable operating costs versus smaller competing
aircraft with less range. The Global 6500 aircraft can connect New
York to Dubai, and Hong Kong to London. The aircraft also boasts
superior agility, with the ability to access airports that others
can’t, such as London City.
