Charter the Bombardier Global 5000 Private Jet
Bombardier aimed its Global 5000 directly at the Gulfstream 450 and Falcon 900EX market. From a cabin-comfort point of view, it is right on target.
The $36.75 million aircraft, which Bombardier conceived in 1999 and began delivering to customers in 2005, is a slightly shorter version of its long-range Global Express XRS. The Global 5000’s cabin is bigger than that of either of the aforementioned competitors, with the widest cross section (just over eight feet at centerline), longest seating area (about 27 feet) and most headroom (six feet, three inches) in its class. The cabin is divided into three 109-inch-long zones with enclosed forward and rear lavatories, a large galley that can support two in-flight meals and an optional rear stateroom. A generously sized baggage compartment is accessible in flight through the rear lavatory.
With its 4,800-nautical-mile range, the 5000 can reach the central U.S. from anywhere in Europe. It can also fly unrefueled from New York to Brazil or from Tokyo to Sidney–and, thanks to its Mach 0.85 cruise speed, it can do this an hour faster than either the Falcon or the Gulfstream. The swift speed comes courtesy of a pair of Rolls-Royce Deutschland BR710A2-20 engines (14,750 pounds of thrust each), from the same family of beefy blowers that power some airliners and business jets, including the Boeing 717 and the Gulfstream 550.
With a ceiling of 51,000 feet, the 5000 can cruise above almost all of the worst weather. The airplane will also likely be able to reach its destination in any but the foulest of conditions, thanks to sophisticated avionics that include the Honeywell Primus 2000XP system and the Thales Heads Up flight guidance system. And while no aircraft is immune from downtime due to mechanical or electrical faults, the Global 5000 has innovative systems that will minimize the impact, including a central aircraft information and maintenance system (CAIMS). This system provides real-time data and can even automatically order replacement parts and provide maintenance personnel with instructions on how to install them.
Then there are the windows. An esoteric sore point for Global Express owners has been the small windows inherited from Bombardier’s regional jet. The 5000 uses these same windows but has a new window that increases the direct line of sight up to 40 percent. Unless you are under age 10, however, you still have to crane your neck down to see anything.
Light-emitting diodes supply the artificial lighting throughout the cabin. The standard installation features white, amber and red for wash lights while red, green and blue mood lighting is an available option. You can control lighting for the entire cabin from a galley touchscreen or from controls at the VIP passenger seat. Reading-light controls are at each seat.
The Global 5000 cabin incorporates the upgradeable Rockwell Collins Airshow 21 system with all the latest bells and whistles, including digital Ethernet and on-demand audiovisual distribution to laptops, high-speed data capability, onboard firewall and dedicated channels for Inmarsat and Iridium satellite communications.
All-in-all the Global 5000’s cabin is comfortable, flexible, innovative and a favorite among many private jet companies. The airplane poses serious competition to Dassault and Gulfstream.
