Another Bombardier aircraft is upon us, we think. Different from the ultra-long-range Global 7500, the Global 8000 travel range is planned to increase by 300nm (555km) to 7,900 nautical miles (14,631 km); the Global 7500 is 33.8m (111ft) in length with a 16.6m cabin; the Global 8000, 31.2m and 13.9m respectively; and now connects some of the world?s most unprecedented city pairings: Los Angeles to Dubai, Sydney to Sao Paulo, Tokyo to San Juan. 
Bombardier?s flagship family of Global aircraft uniquely covers the large business jet category with six aircraft models, including its flagship ultra-long-range Global 7500 aircraft (and now the Global 8000). The newest addition to the family will feature next-generation fly-by-wire technology and a Bombardier Vision flight deck that blends cutting-edge avionics with exceptional ergonomics and aesthetics for optimal comfort and control. Development on the Global 8000 is still in the works. Pre-sales have not begun and the Montreal-based company is still assessing the market. Bombardier, however, has re-emphasized its commitment to bringing the aircraft to market. Stephen McCollough, Vice President of Engineering and Product Development, says, ??We are still exploring options on the Global 8000. There are a number of items we are working on with an eye on what that would be.??
