History

Bombardier Aerospace began development the Global XRS in 1993 with the first flight occurring in 1996. The Global Express fuselage is similar to Bombardier Regional Jet, is similar in length, but designed for very different missions. The Global Express incorporated many new features including: an advanced all new supercritical airfoil with a 35° sweep and winglets and a new T-tail for better performance and fuel economy to handle longer missions. The aircraft is powered by two BMW RollsRoyce BR-710 turbofans with FADEC and the advanced flightdeck features a six screen Honeywell Primus 2000 XP EFIS suite with optional heads-up displays.
