Bombardier Global 7500 | Wikipedia

The Bombardier Global 7500, known as the largest purpose-built business jet, features a significant amount of power generated by its two General Electric Passport engines. Each engine produces 18,920 pounds of thrust, resulting in a combined total of 37,840 pounds-force at maximum power. This enables the jet to reach a top speed of Mach 0.925.

"37,840 lbf of thrust is equivalent to 168.32 kilonewtons," states the original press release. When examining power in practical terms, this thrust translates differently. The Bombardier Global 7500 reaches takeoff horsepower of 12,764.7, equivalent to about 9.5 megawatts.

The Bombardier Global 7500 boasts a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 114,850 pounds. At full power, the jet achieves a thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.329, demonstrating its impressive ability to accelerate quickly. In comparison, the Gulfstream G700, its main rival, has a slightly better ratio of 0.339 due to its lighter structure.

The aircraft's aerodynamics play a crucial role in its performance. Its wing is optimized for cruising at Mach 0.85, balancing efficiency at near-supersonic speed. The wing's design, including a 35° sweep angle and larger wing size with reduced drag, contributes to the Global 7500's improved handling, particularly in turbulence.

"Bombardier also needed to innovate with the aerodynamics of the aircraft," emphasizes the statement, highlighting the aircraft's advanced design features like the double-slotted Fowler flaps and leading-edge slats that enhance low-speed handling.

These characteristics allow the Bombardier Global 7500 to operate on various airport types. However, weight and size constraints mean it might not be suitable for some airports like Aspen. "Its sheer size and weight mean that it is restricted from some places like Aspen," acknowledges the original text.

Bombardier began offering the Global 7500 upgrades to Global 8000 specifications, as stated: "Bombardier is now offering the improvements made for the Global 8000 as a retrofit to existing Global 7500s." These upgrades include achieving a maximum speed of Mach 0.94.

The rivalry with Gulfstream continues, as both companies aim to push the boundaries of aviation technology. As Bombardier claims to build the fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde, "The aviation world will eagerly watch to see what amazing achievements these two companies bring in the future."
