The story
Bombardier's Global Express opened the ultra-long-range business jet class: 6,500 nautical miles nonstop, a cabin you can stand up in, and room for a crew rest. The Global XRS, 6000 and 6500 that followed share its code and its shape.
The original Global Express was built to fly 6,500 nautical miles nonstop, enough for New York to Tokyo.
