Bombardier Claims Mach 0.95 MMO for Global 8000 Business Jet

Bombardier is throwing down the gauntlet for business jet speed, reporting that it has raised the maximum Mach operating (Mmo) number for its soon-to-be-certified Global 8000. The company announced it was increasing the ultra-long-range jet’s top speed from Mach 0.94 to 0.95 at the recent 2025 NBAA-BACE show in Las Vegas. The new Mmo will be the highest ever approved for a subsonic civil aircraft. This video brought to us by BJT sister-publication Aviation International News.
