Bombardier Global 6500
The Global 6500 re-engined the proven Global 6000 with Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 turbofans and a redesigned wing trailing edge, lifting range to 6,600 nm while cutting fuel burn by 13 percent. It carries over the Vision flight deck and the wide Global cabin, and it competes head-on with the Gulfstream G600.
In short: The Bombardier Global 6500 is a Ultra-Long-Range with a range of 6,600 nm, a cruise speed of 516 knots and room for 13 passengers. It lists at about $60M new and costs roughly $5,200 an hour to operate (estimate).
