New Bombardiers Will Be World's Most Expensive Business Jets

Canadian aviation company Bombardier is aiming to displace Gulfstream as the world's most expensive business jet with the introduction of two new models. The Global 7000 and 8000, which will cost about $65 million apiece, will beat the high-speed range of the $58.5 million Gulfstream G650. Both new private jets will have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90; the 7000 will have a range of 7,300 nmi at Mach 0.85, while the 8000's range will top out at 7,900 nmi at Mach 0.85. Both will borrow elements from the existing Global Express XRS and 5000.

New wings, new tech and luxe amenities added to increased fuel efficiency will be the hallmarks of the new craft, aimed to appeal to ultra-wealthy customers in India, Asia and the UAE. The 7000 will have the largest cabin in business aviation while the 8,000 will boast the longest range. The 7000 will be able to fly from London to Singapore, New York to Dubai or Beijing to Washington non-stop with 10 passengers, while the 8000 can do Sydney to Los Angeles, Hong Kong to New York and Mumbai to New York non-stop with eight. Unfortunately the first one won't be ready for delivery until 2016.

I'm pretty sure the business versions of the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 smoke the new Bombardier on price, size AND fuel consumption.

Thanks for the idea ? I haven?t reviewed any filter bottles ever, which is why I don?t tend to recommend them, however, my pals who have used them like them. Most I?ve seen are plastic though which is another downer. I?ll have to look into your stainless

The private aviation world is eagerly awaiting a jet like this. The Gulfstream 650 will be ready for customers sooner, but Bombardier is upping the ante with these jets. Having the range to fly nonstop from China to New York is one thing, but the ability to carry 10 passengers while you do it is quite amazing. Bravo to Bombardier, looking forward to seeing a full-scale mockup soon.

We cannot honor nor pay enough to the dedicated Union Aircraft Technicians that maintain the Aircraft of the world. They are the true key to Aviation Safty above all others.(Scabs do not count as they are worthless) As for the cost of this aircraft? No doubt the company suits are gitting their wallets stuffed by this one.

Meanwhile, in the real world, people are picking through garbage for bottles and cans to feed their families. Ridiculous!

ann hughs Nov 3rd 2010 10:41AM

I think it's ridiculous also. Imagine picking through garbage for food when you can go to your local grocery store to buy food.

lol @ Ann. Nice!

Why? IRRESPONSIBLE people. Having babies without the means to feed them, clothe them, shelter them, etc. I call it "the Katrina Syndrome" - here I am, take vare of me, feed me, clothe me, give me money, shelter, good car, cell phone, etc.
I feel that if you work and can buy one - good for you! That IS the American way!

YES HUMAN BEINGS ARE STUPID. WHAT IS LEGAL TODAY AND NON LEGAL IS DEBATABLE. AS YOU KNOW IS HUMANS WHOM HAVE COOPERATRED WITH THE CHARALANTS OF THE BUSINESS WORLD. WHY WOULD PEOPLE WHOM POOP JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE POPULATION AND FART LIKE THOSE MANY OF THEM LOOK DOWN UPON BE ALLOWED TO PAMPER IN THEIR DISGRACE FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY.? THIS IS ALL NON ACCEPTABLE. NO WONDER SOME WENT FOR COMMUNISM.

Good Grief! Please don't tell Nancy Pelosi about this. She'll be wanting one too so that she can travel back and forth each week from her home to Washington, DC and also on her vacation jaunts with all her family and friends. We should give her back her broom
