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.”

Well, first he said good news for the aircraft, not the pilot.

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 ;-)

My understanding is the crew-rest seat is much improved - proper lie flat!

You clearly haven't been near one have you?

we speak of things we know not of!
 

Interesting since I spent 8 years of my life designing the very elements you speak of! you speak with forked tongue and no experience my friend. please forgive me if I call you a FOUR LETTER WORD beginning with C and ending with Tee - and the four letter word is of course, Cute

I'm honestly interested in learning how the crew rest facilities of a long-range bizjet are. Could you elaborate? Some photos maybe?

For starters you can search the internet for photos like "Global 6000 crew rest", you'll find a bunch of photos.

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.
8000

• Top speed0.94
• Ultra-high speed cruise0.92
• High-speed cruise0.90
• Typical cruise speed0.85

7500

• Top speed0.925
• High-speed cruise0.90
• Typical cruise speed0.85

May 22 ?

More seriously can't seem to find the range at M 0.94 ?

You are not wrong about the "bragging rights", however the other factor will be ease of resale.
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)
