The Bombardier Global 5000 is a Canadian-produced business jet aircraft. It is a slightly shorter version of the Bombardier Global Express XRS.
The Global 5000 can fly close to 5000 nautical miles nonstop at Mach .80. The average trip lengths for most operators is 2.5 hours where the aircraft will cruise between Mach .85 and Mach .89, making it one of the fastest long range jets available today.
Typical configuration features 13 - 15 passenger seats including fully berthable seats and an aft lounge/bedroom. The aircraft has a full galley and two lavatories.
Originally, the maximum takeoff weight was 89,700 lbs. With typical equipment and passenger accoutrements, the empty weight was 52,000 - 55,000 pounds (22600 - 25000 kg). In April 2008, Bombardier announced that the certified gross weight had been increased to 92,500 lb (41954 kg), which permitted an increased fuel load - projected maximum range increased to 5,200 nm (9637 km).[1]
The maximum certified altitude is 51,000 ft. The typical approach speed is 108 knots requiring approximately 2,600 feet of runway for landing.
The aircraft is manufactured by Bombardier in Toronto, Canada, and flown "green" to Montreal, St. Louis or Savannah for final completion.
