The Bombardier Global 5000 is a super large business jet which, with a range of 8,889km (4,800nm), is capable of flying directly from continental Europe to Central USA at high speed. The aircraft has a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.88 (935km/h). The Global 5000 design is a development of the proven high-reliability Global Express corporate business jet with a smaller airframe. The take-off and landing strip requirements allow operators to land at smaller airfields closer to business areas. A balanced field length of just 1,525m (5,000ft) is required for a maximum-range mission of 8,889km at speed Mach 0.85.
The Global 5000 is a slightly smaller version of the Global Express. Although the fuselage is five feet shorter than the Global Express, its available passenger seating area (separate from the galley and lavatory) will be about the same. Two Rolls Royce Deutschland BR710A2 engines of 14,750 lbs thrust, power the aircraft. Other than the maximum range, performance is similar to the Global Express. The Global 5000 is slotted in between the Challenger 604 and Global Express in size and price.
Developed from advanced Global Express technologies the Bombardier Global 5000 business jet is exceptionally efficient to own, maintain and fly.
The 'dark cockpit' is ergonomically designed to minimize the pilot's workload. The aircraft is equipped with a Honeywell Primus 2000XP avionics suite with dual flight management systems, dual Category II autopilot systems and an automatic flight control system. The dual electronic flight information system (E/FIS) has six 8in×7in multifunction displays.
The navigation systems include a color weather radar, triple laser gyroscope inertial reference system, global positioning system, automatic direction finder, an integrated VHF omnidirectional radio ranger / instrument landing system (VOR / ILS), distance measuring equipment (DME), TCAS II traffic alert and collision avoidance system and a ground proximity warner.
The Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft provides passengers with more high-comfort living and working area than any other super-large business jet. Its quiet, airy atmosphere is highly conducive to relaxed productivity. Equipped with one of the world's most advanced, most reliable Cabin Electronic Systems, the aircraft offers business travelers the same high-caliber, high-speed connectivity capabilities and office options they enjoy on the ground, plus on-demand news/weather/sports packages as well as a theatre of entertainment choices.
The cabin is customized to meet the operator's requirement and can be configured for up to 19 passengers. A typical cabin configuration, providing a comfortable and productive working environment for up to eight passengers and three crew members, is arranged in three sections with a forward crew and staff rest area, a fully equipped office and a conference or state room.
The air-conditioned baggage compartment at the rear of the cabin is accessible during flight. The cabin is luxuriously finished and provides an exceptionally quiet and comfortable flight.
The aircraft is equipped with a Honeywell central aircraft information and maintenance system (CAIMS) which provides health, usage and service data, allowing faster maintenance turnaround times. Thales Avionics Canada and CMC Electronics (formerly BAE Systems Canada) have developed the Bombardier enhanced vision system (BEVS) which will be available as an option on the Global 5000. The BEVS, which integrates a 40°×26° Thales head-up display (HUD) and CMC's SureSight infrared sensor, improves the pilot's situational awareness in low visibility conditions.
The aircraft has two Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 turbofan engines mounted at the sides of the rear fuselage. The engines, which are rated at 66.1kN at take-off, are equipped with full authority digital engine control (FADEC). The two-petal configuration thrust reversers are designed by International Nacelle Systems.
The fuel system has a total capacity of 16,329kg of fuel and includes two integral wing fuel tanks, a centre-section tank and an auxiliary tank installed in the rear section of the fuselage. A fuel management system controls the flow and distribution of fuel. The single refueling point is located in the starboard wing and fuselage fairing. The aircraft is equipped with a Walter Kidde Aerospace fire detection and fire extinguishing system.
Global 5000 were designed for high cost-efficiency in today's global market, with a task-oriented maintenance program that delivers the lowest direct operating costs of any aircraft in its class.
