In 2003 when the Concord made its last flight it seemed that civil aviation had given up on breaking speed records, for two decades no one came close to that supersonic performance, but now in 2025 we are about to witness a radical change, the Canadian Bombardeier has just revealed the Global 8000, its new executive jet that promises to reach match 0.94, that is, practically the speed of sound.
And during the tests it already reached match 1,015, surpassing the sound barrier. Could it be that we are facing a new Concord, but now with much more efficiency and comfort? The first thing that draws attention, of course, is the maximum speed. The overall one leaves behind even the current leader in speed, the Cesna Citation This is a huge range that allows routes such as New York to Dubai or San Paulo to Tokyo direct and non-stop.
All this is only possible thanks to the engineering of the rooms, Bombarde's exclusive smoothless wings technology makes the plane extremely stable, even in bad weather, in addition to allowing landings and takeoffs at smaller airports and shorter runways, there are around 2,000 airports available compared to competitors, from an operational point of view the Global was developed with maximum safety, stability and reliability in mind.
The Flexwing wings are not only more efficient, they significantly reduce turbulence, making the trip smoother even at high altitudes or difficult weather situations, another strong point is the cabin, which offers differentiated pressurization, the internal altitude is kept lower than usual reducing fatigue and discomfort on long flights, this not only improves the well-being of passengers, but also reduces wear and tear on the crew during operations.
But Grobal is not just advanced mechanics, the integrated technology includes intelligent systems that constantly monitor and adjust all aspects of flight, from performance to onboard comfort, AI helps pilots make faster and more accurate decisions ensuring extremely safe and efficient operation.
This human-machine interaction also reaches the comfort of the passengers, intelligent lighting, temperature controls and even entertainment adjust automatically, creating a personalized and pleasant experience throughout the journey. Inside, the aircraft looks more like a five-star flying hotel, there are four different environments including a luxurious living room, space for executive meetings, master suite with a double bed and an optional private shower, you even forget that you are flying almost at the speed of sound.
With capacity for up to 19 passengers and an exclusive rest area for the crew, it perfectly serves companies, high-level executives and governments that need to make quick, safe and comfortable trips around the planet and it has already become clear that for those of us who are simple bread and egg eaters, you won't be able to fly in that one, right?
Bombardier recognizes that its flying machine would not exist without the inspiration of the Concord, but the idea is not only to recreate the past, the objective is to improve and evolve, to deliver almost the same supersonic sensation but with energy efficiency, less noise and much more operational flexibility, with its arrival on the market already confirmed for 2025 the Global will begin a new era of competition in the sky with other companies racing behind to achieve that same performance.
