Bombardier marked a major moment in business aviation on Monday when it handed over the first Global 8000 — the fastest civilian aircraft to fly since the Concorde — at its Assembly Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.
Patrick Dovigi, a former Canadian hockey pro who later built a successful business career, received the first delivery. The Global 8000 reaches Mach 0.95, which makes it the fastest private jet on the market.
The company also highlighted its range of 8,000 nautical miles, a figure demonstrated during a long-haul test earlier this year. That distance allows nonstop flights between more global city pairs than any competing business jet.
The aircraft also features a refined Smooth Flex Wing with leading-edge slats that improve landing performance. Engineers say this configuration allows the jet to access more runways and provides takeoff and landing capabilities similar to those of much smaller aircraft.
