Operational Context
Bombardier Global 5500 — large-cabin long-range business jet
The Global 5500 first flew in 2018 and entered service in 2019. It incorporates aerodynamic refinements and an upgraded cabin compared with earlier Global 5000 models. The aircraft retains the swept wing and large-cabin configuration characteristic of Bombardier’s Global series.
Powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 turbofan engines producing approximately 15,125 pounds of thrust (67.3 kN) each, the Global 5500 cruises at around Mach 0.90, approximately 516 knots (956 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 91,000 pounds (41,280 kg). Range exceeds 5,900 nautical miles (10,930 km).
The Global 5500 is positioned for high-speed, long-range business travel. Its cabin accommodates multiple living zones and advanced connectivity. The aircraft represents an evolution of Bombardier’s established large-cabin platform.
