Bombardier’s New Global 6500 Business Jet Combines Speed, Efficiency and Long Range - Pictures...
August 27, 2019 - by DANIELLE CUTLER for robbreport.com
Hot on the tail of the Global 7500, Canada-based Bombardier's smaller Global 6500 business jet will be ready for service by the end of the year.
The Global 6500 has completed 90 percent of its flight testing, with its wings and engines in their final stages of validation, and the first production aircraft has moved into the company's completion center in Montreal.
Purpose-built Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines and a new wing make the Global 6500 fast and efficient, with a maximum range of 6,600 nautical miles. Some have questioned whether that much range is necessary.
Bill Papariella, cofounder of long-range jet-services company Jet Edge, can argue either way: "From a corporate standpoint, I do think they're using the range. Let's say you're GM and you have operations in Australia, why wouldn't you want to do nonstop to Australia from Detroit?
But I do think they've made the range so far that it's probably not used nearly as much as it was ever intended," Papariella says. "That said, [long-range jets] are still flying off the shelves."

Original notes and articles
My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
