Toronto was the place that Bombardier selected for the first flight of his new aircraft, the Bombardier Global 7000. This plane, that succesfully completed the first flight test vehicle (FTV1), “marks the start of a flight test program for the newest member of Bombardier´s flagship Global aircraft family”, announces the company. As a matter of fact, this new aircraft, destined to the business market, will enter into service in the second half of 2018.
For 2 hours and 27 minutes, Captain Ed Grabman tested the plane under clean conditions, during which “all flight controls were exercised, and the systems and aircraft performed as expected”. The flight reached 20,000 feet.
