The Global Express was Bombardier's first ultra-long-range business jet, pairing Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofans with a cabin 7 ft 11 in wide. Certified in Canada and the US in 1998, it was delivered from 1999 to 2006, and 150 were built before the Global Express XRS replaced it. Its Honeywell Primus 2000XP cockpit and early cabin systems make it one of the lowest-cost ways into a large-cabin, long-range jet.
