Bombardier's Global 7500 business jet has successfully completed a flight from Sydney to Detroit in one non-stop flight.
The point-to-point distance between the two cities is 8,225 nautical miles, eclipsing the 7,990 nautical mile distance between Singapore and Tucson, which the plane previously flew.
Peter Likoray, senior vice president, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Bombardier Business Aircraft, said: “Since entry-into-service, the Global 7500 aircraft continues to go above and beyond expectations, flying farther and farther, setting new benchmarks for exceptional performance and comfort.
“It’s an incomparable advantage for our customers to know that they can travel great distances in style and ultimate comfort thanks to Bombardier’s signature smooth ride.”
The Global 7500 aircraft has a slats and flap system, the most advanced wing in business aviation generates unprecedented amounts of lift on takeoff and approach, maximising aerodynamic efficiency and boosting performance while improving safety and offering a smoother, more restful ride.
