The Global 7500 is a clean sheet design[5] with a new transonic wing and is the first purpose built business jet featuring a cabin with four-zone cabin.[6] The Global 7500 has a range of 7,700 nmi (14,300 km).
Announced in October 2010, the jets were initially scheduled for introduction in 2016 for the Global 7500 and 2017 for the Global 8000.[7] In 2015, Bombardier decided to redesign the aircraft's wing and, along other development challenges, delayed the programme by over two years.[8] The goal of the redesign was to reduce the wing's weight without altering its aerodynamic profile. The aircraft fly-by-wire system architecture is based on that of the CSeries.[9] The airframe will use Aluminium–lithium alloys like the other airliner.[10] The program cost more than US$1 billion.[11]
