Great news for the Global 7500...
Global 7500 Sets Bizjet Range Record...
Bombardier’s new Global 7500 this week achieved what the manufacturer is billing as the world’s longest flight by a purpose-built business jet. The aircraft logged 8,152 nm after taking off from Singapore at 7:12 a.m. local time on March 4 and landing in Tucson, Arizona, at 8:19 a.m.—setting a speed record for this sector in the process.
The aircraft landed with 4,300 pounds of fuel, falling well within NBAA requirements with nearly 90 additional minutes of flight time possible.
The Global 7500 entered service on December 20, 2018. Designed for long intercontinental flights, it boasts the industry’s largest business jet cabin and a maximum speed of Mach 0.925. This week’s flight exceeded the aircraft’s advertised range of 7,700 nm.
“The Global 7500 was built to break all the records,” commented Bombardier Business Aircraft president David Coleal. “It achieved the industry’s longest mission ever in business aviation after only two months in service. We’ve demonstrated its unequaled long-range and high-speed capabilities, but also its ability to break records confidently with healthy fuel reserves remaining, once again, confirming its unsurpassed performance to customers.”

Curious to know about the other details.
My estimates:
16h07 flight with 506 KT average ground speed. Suppose a 20 KT tail wind that could have been achieved with M.84/85 cruise.

Then, fly 15 hours, spend 10 days on a beach, fly back...
And you can always chose a job on a smaller aircraft, Citation or other, and fly 2 hours 6 times a day ;-)

we speak of things we know not of!
Not sure how you can jump to that conclusion. But I can infer that your understanding of sarcasm is limited and the fact that the 7500 is a stretch version of the 6000 with its less than crew friendly rest arrangement is well documented, hence the sarcastic comment 🤦🤦🤦
You have also no doubt seen all the possible layouts of the galley in the 7500, in your infinite knowledge, and think that a bench seat with 5 crew on a 16 hour flight is a great idea.

I've know of several operators of the 6000 and 7500 that opted for the standard crew rest seat that fully reclines flat with a bunk above it so 2 crew can lie flat, or 1 can sit while the top lies flat. I've also seen the first 2 club seats on a 7500 sectioned off for crew rest.
When 2 fa's and 3 pilots are onboard a 7500 I would imagine those with only 1 lie flat crew rest seat must also occupy a cabin seat for rest?
I find the VJ config very strange unless galley divan turns into a bed.

“ Martel said during the press conference that current Global 7500 owners would be able to “retrofit” their aircraft to obtain the same speed and range as the Global 8000. The 7500 would also be phased out when the 8000, which has a base price of $78 million, enters service in 2025.”
I wonder how much the “Retrofit” for the 7500 will cost? I bet it will not be cheap.
Except for the small added range and “Bragging Rights” about the speed, of Mach .94 up from Mach .925 probably not worth the price.

The typical cruise speed of the 7500 (from the operators I know) is 0.88.
0.85 is (pretty much) equivalent to LRC

Maybe not M 0.94 but these might give an idea:
- 7,700 n miles (14,260 km; 8,861 miles) (est) (NBAA reserves, at M0.85, with four crew and eight passengers, Global 7500)
- 7,900 n miles (14,630 km; 9,091 miles) (est) (NBAA reserves, at M0.85, with four crew and eight passengers, Global 8000)
- 5,650 n miles (10,463 km; 6,501 miles) (est) (NBAA reserves, at M0.90, with four crew and eight passengers, Global 8000)
