Bombardier unveils the Global 8000: Fastest civilian jet yet
Bombardier is introducing the Global 8000, a fast civilian jet that reaches speeds of Mach 0.94.
The Canadian aircraft manufacturer will present the Global 8000, the fastest civilian jet since the Concorde, in the second half of 2025. According to the Interesting Engineering portal, the aircraft produced by Bombardier will achieve a speed of Mach 0.94, placing it among the fastest machines in the world.
Innovative design and luxurious interior
The Global 8000 model impresses not only with its speed but also with its range of 8,000 nautical miles, equivalent to about 9,200 miles. The creators have also ensured a high standard and luxurious equipment. The cabin includes specially designed living spaces, bathrooms, and a dedicated area for the crew. The Global 8000 can carry 19 passengers.
Smooth flex wing technology
The creators of the aircraft equipped it with innovative Smooth Flex Wing technology. This design aims to guarantee stability even in the toughest weather conditions as well as high flight speeds. Thanks to modern technology, the Global 8000 will be able to use shorter runways with ease. According to the company, the aircraft will be able to land at about 2,000 more airports than its closest competitor, significantly reducing travel time.
Bombardier's designers drew inspiration from the legendary Concorde, which was capable of flying at a speed of Mach 2.04. Although the Global 8000 doesn't match it in terms of speed, it stands out with its exceptional combination of speed, range, and comfort.
Bombardier's competition is not resting. Boom Supersonic is also working on introducing commercial supersonic flights. The American company plans to bring its Overture aircraft to market by the end of the decade.
