Bombardier Global 5500
About
Next-Generation Efficiency
The Global 5500, introduced in 2019, took the successful Global 5000 platform and completely revitalized it with new engines and a redesigned wing. The addition of the Rolls-Royce Pearl engines provided more thrust and significantly better fuel efficiency, while the new "re-profiled" wing improved aerodynamics. It was built to bridge the gap between the super-midsize market and the ultra-long-range segment, offering "Global" luxury with modernized performance.
The Winning Features of the 5500
The 5500 wins on comfort and connectivity. It was the first aircraft in its class to offer the Nuage seat, a revolutionary design that features a "tilt" system for a zero-gravity neutral body posture. Additionally, it offers 4K ultra-high-definition entertainment and the fastest in-flight internet available. For the owner, the 5500’s primary advantage is its increased range—flying 5,900 miles—allowing for non-stop missions like Los Angeles to Moscow or Sao Paulo to Madrid that were previously on the edge of the Global 5000's capability.
Advanced Performance and Refinement
The Global 5500 redefines the large-cabin experience, offering a blend of intercontinental reach and ultra-modern cabin tech. It seats up to 13 passengers in a three-zone cabin that features class-leading ergonomics and advanced air purification systems. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines, it boasts a range of 5,900 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.90. The flight deck features the Bombardier Vision system with Combined Vision technology, providing pilots with the ultimate toolset for long-haul global operations.
