The new Global 8000 business jet will also set new standards for performance and ride quality, with the fastest speed, longest range and the smoothest ride. With an industry-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles and an unequaled top speed of Mach 0.94, the Global 8000 is the ultimate time machine, unlocking more city pairs than ever before including Dubai-Houston, Singapore-Los Angeles, London-Perth and many others.
