Bombardier has achieved FAA approval of its Global 7500 jet, the company announced on Wednesday. The long-range business jet, the biggest in Bombardier's business-jet fleet, can fly up to 7,700 nautical miles, enabling nonstop flights from New York to Hong Kong, or Singapore to San Francisco. The flight deck is equipped with fly-by-wire technology, flight envelope protections, synthetic and enhanced vision systems and a layout intended to maximize ergonomic comfort for the crew. It flies at speeds up to Mach 0.925. First deliveries are expected by the end of the year.
