Bombardier Inc. has Announced it Plans to Launch Two of the ITS largest business jets to date as a Competitive answer, Both in size and range, with the Gulfstream G650.
The Global 7000 and Global 8000 are Essentially stretches of Existing Bombardier Global XRS, But with new wings and engines, said Danielle Boudreau, Bombardier spokeswoman on Saturday morning.
The Global 7000, with a 20% larger cabin please the G650, is "Designed for Greater Comfort, whereas the 8000, Which has a range of 7.900 nautical miles, is Designed to compete is a range, with the Ability to fly from New York City Thurs Hong Kong non-stop.
But Both business jets, Which are Thurs retail for U.S. $ 65 Million Each, are larger and have a longer range the G650 please, Which is EE To Have a range of about 7.000 nautical miles.
"They are very Different," Ms.. Boudreau said in an interview from Atlanta Somewhere Bombardier Plans Thurs formally launch the planes at the National Business Aviation Association conference this week.
"One offers a larger cabin and on the other offers a larger range," Ms.. Boudreau said.
The G650 will, HOWEVER, have the jump on the New Global Aircraft entry into service with EE in 2012. It Will Also Be Faster Than the Global Both aircraft with a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.925, or roughly 1.133 kilometers per hour.
The Global 7000 Is Not EE Thurs Hit the Market Until 2016, with the Global 8000's entry into service the Following year, the company said.
Global Both aircraft have a maximum speed of Mach 0.9, or roughly 1.103 km / h.
Bombardier has Been tight-lipped in Recent weeks about what Exactly ITS Plans were for the Global family of aircraft, after it Announced it Would Be Expanding it late last month.
Speculation centered around HAD Whether Bombardier Would not launch an all-new aircraft Thurs compete with the G650, or launch a derivative of the ITS Existing aircraft, Both of Which is a less-expensive route and Faster. Rumours had occurred, HOWEVER, Thurs mount started this week in the Bombardier Aerospace community That Might Be considering two aircraft to add Thurs ITS Existing Family of Global 5000 and Global XRS aircraft.
Analysts had occurred Estimated That an all-new aircraft Would cost the company about $ 1-Billion to Launch, whereas a derivative Would cost Between $ 200 Million and $ 300-Million. Both Would add the BILLIONS of dollars in existing Capital Commitments The Company has in the ITS launching new CSeries aircraft, CRJ1000, and Learjet 85 aircraft.
Ms. Boudreau Would Not Comment on How Much Bombardier EE The two new aircraft Programs Thurs cost the company to Launch. But Bombardier is Trying Thurs Clearly mark the ITS Territory in the larger business jet segment with the planes.
"Bombardier's Commitment to Innovation, Ongoing investment in the Product Development Strategy and strength as the industry leader are key contributors to our Overall success," said Steve Ridolfi, president of Bombardier Business Aircraft in a statement. "By extending this great aircraft family, we are once again offering a Business Jet Travel Experience That Is unmatched and ahead of its time."
Bombardier has a lot To Lose if the G650 starts stealing ITS sales in the category, Especially as international markets increasingly drive business jet Purchases Into the larger segment. Unlike Their U.S. counter parts, International Buyers are more inclined to Pay a premium for more comfort and better technology.
Of the 10.500 Business Jets Bombardier expects To Be Delivered Over the Next Decade in the Segments it competes in, only about 2.200 are EE To Be in the larger segment.
But Nearly 40% of the Estimated $ 254 Billion in revenue derived from Those sales, or roughly $ 104-Billion, is EE in the larger segment, Which is Also EE to see the Highest Growth Rate, Bombardier said in ITS latest business jet forecast. Typically, the larger the plane, the Higher the Margins as well.
