Bombardier's latest ultra-long-range jet. Smooth-ride wing technology, the widest cabin in its class, and enough range to connect any two cities on Earth non-stop.
Fun fact
The Global 5500's wing design includes a proprietary smooth-ride system that detects and counteracts turbulence.
How to spot one
Slightly shorter range than Global Express but same basic airframe. Low-mounted engines.
Crews call it
The Five Thousand
Sounds like
Same BR710 as the Global Express — deep, smooth, powerful
