๐Ÿ“‹Aircraft Overview & History

Introduction to the Bombardier Global 6500

The Bombardier Global 6500 represents the culmination of decades of business aviation excellence and engineering innovation. First announced at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) 2018 in Geneva, Switzerland, this aircraft redefines what is possible in ultra-long-range business aviation. Built on the proven BD-700-1A10 platform, the Global 6500 incorporates revolutionary technologies including purpose-built Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines, an aerodynamically optimized wing design, and the industry's first true Combined Vision System.

The aircraft achieved a significant milestone when it received Transport Canada Type Certification on August 26, 2019, followed by FAA and EASA certification. The first delivery was made to HK Bellawings Jet Limited in Hong Kong on December 23, 2019, marking the beginning of a new era in business jet performance and efficiency.

Pearl 15 Engine - Revolutionary Design

The Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 represents a quantum leap in business aviation propulsion technology. Developed at the Rolls-Royce Centre of Excellence in Dahlewitz, Germany, this engine was purpose-built exclusively for the Bombardier Global 5500 and 6500 aircraft. It combines breakthrough technologies from the Advance2 demonstrator program with proven reliability from the BR700 family, resulting in the most efficient and powerful engine in its class.

The Pearl 15 first ran on the ground in 2015, completed EASA certification in February 2019, and has now accumulated hundreds of thousands of flight hours across the Global fleet worldwide.

Combined Vision System (CVS) - Industry First

Revolutionary CVS Technology:

The Bombardier Vision flight deck is the FIRST in the industry to offer true Combined Vision System - seamlessly merging Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) into a single, unified display on the Head-Up Display.

Enhanced Vision System (EVS) Components:
  • Sensor: CMC Electronics CMA-2700 SureSight I-Series
  • Technology: Third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR)
  • Wavelength: Long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal imaging
  • Display Integration: Real-time overlay on HUD and PFD
  • Benefits:
    • See through fog, haze, smoke, and darkness
    • Detect runway lights and environment in low visibility
    • Enhanced situational awareness during approach
    • Enables EFVS operations per regulations
Synthetic Vision System (SVS) Components:
  • Database: Global terrain, obstacle, and airport database
  • Display: Computer-generated 3D perspective view
  • Features:
    • Terrain rendering with elevation shading
    • Obstacles and towers marked
    • Runway and taxiway depiction
    • Pathway guidance in the sky
    • Horizon reference in all conditions
CVS Integration Benefits:
  • Single view eliminates head movement between displays
  • Real-world thermal imagery validates synthetic terrain
  • Reduced pilot workload in critical phases
  • Unmatched situational awareness
  • Clearest view through toughest weather

Fuel System Components

Component Quantity Location Function
Wing Fuel Tanks 2 (L & R) Integral wing tanks Primary fuel storage (~33,500 lb)
Center/Fuselage Tank 1 (optional config) Fuselage center Additional fuel (~8,000 lb)
AC Fuel Pumps 4 (2 per wing) Wing tanks Primary fuel delivery to engines
DC Fuel Pumps 2 (1 per wing) Wing tanks Backup/emergency fuel delivery
Crossfeed Valve 1 Center fuselage Allows fuel from either tank to both engines

Fuel Management & CG Control

Automatic Fuel Transfer System:

  • Purpose: Maintain optimal center of gravity during flight
  • Operation: Fully automatic, pilot-selectable modes
  • CG Optimization:
    • Fuel transferred aft during cruise for optimal CG
    • Improves fuel efficiency
    • Reduces trim drag
    • Extends range
  • Transfer Sequence:
    1. Forward tanks used first
    2. Center tank fuel transferred as needed
    3. Aft tank feeding continues
    4. System maintains balanced lateral fuel

Fuel Quantity Indication:

  • Display Location: EICAS synoptic page on MFD
  • Information Provided:
    • Total fuel remaining (digital readout)
    • Individual tank quantities
    • Fuel flow per engine (lb/hr)
    • Fuel used (cumulative)
    • Fuel temperature
    • Fuel imbalance (if exceeds limits)
  • Accuracy: ยฑ1% of full scale

Fuel Jettison System:

  • Purpose: Reduce aircraft weight in emergency
  • Jettison Rate: Approximately 2,000-3,000 lb/min
  • Minimum Jettison Altitude: Typically above 5,000 ft AGL
  • Minimum Fuel: Cannot jettison below reserve fuel quantity
  • Activation: Pilot-controlled switch, requires confirmation
  • Indication: EICAS message and decreasing fuel quantity

CONTROL FUNCTIONS:
โ€ข Ailerons: Roll control (left/right bank)
โ€ข Elevators: Pitch control (nose up/down)
โ€ข Rudder: Yaw control (nose left/right)
โ€ข Spoilers: Speed brakes, lift dump, roll assist
โ€ข Flaps: High-lift devices, increase lift/drag
โ€ข Slats: Leading edge high-lift, stall prevention
                    

Primary Flight Controls

Control Surface Actuation Systems Range of Motion
Ailerons (L & R) Hydraulic (Powered) Systems 1, 2, 3 ยฑ20ยฐ (approx)
Elevators (L & R) Hydraulic (Powered) Systems 1, 2, 3 Up 25ยฐ / Down 15ยฐ
Rudder Hydraulic (Powered) Systems 1, 2 ยฑ25ยฐ (speed limited)

Secondary Flight Controls

Control Surface Positions Purpose Actuation
Leading Edge Slats Retracted / Extended Increase CL max, delay stall Hydraulic, automatic with flaps
Trailing Edge Flaps 0ยฐ / 8ยฐ / 20ยฐ / 30ยฐ Increase lift and drag Hydraulic, pilot-selected
Flight Spoilers 0ยฐ to 45ยฐ proportional Speed control, roll assist Hydraulic, automatic/manual
Ground Spoilers Retracted / Deployed (60ยฐ) Lift dump after touchdown Hydraulic, automatic on landing

Flap/Slat Schedule

Flap Setting Flap Angle Slat Position Typical Use Max Speed (VFE)
0 (Retracted) 0ยฐ Retracted High-speed cruise VMO/MMO
1 8ยฐ Extended Takeoff, initial approach ~250 KIAS
2 20ยฐ Extended Takeoff (short field), approach ~200 KIAS
3 (Full) 30ยฐ Extended Landing ~180 KIAS

Flight Control Augmentation Systems

Yaw Damper System:

  • Purpose: Suppress Dutch roll oscillations, improve ride quality
  • Operation: Automatic rudder inputs based on yaw rate
  • Redundancy: Dual yaw damper channels
  • Engagement: Automatically engages after takeoff
  • Pilot Control: Can be manually disengaged if required

Rudder Limiter System:

  • Purpose: Prevent excessive rudder deflection at high speeds
  • Operation: Progressively limits rudder authority as speed increases
  • Protection: Prevents structural overstress of vertical stabilizer
  • Implementation: Automatic, transparent to pilot

Mach Trim System:

  • Purpose: Compensate for pitch changes at high Mach numbers
  • Operation: Automatic elevator trim adjustments
  • Activation: Engages automatically above certain Mach number
  • Function: Maintains consistent control feel throughout speed range

Stall Protection System:

  • Stick Shaker: Activates 5-7 knots before stall (tactile warning)
  • Stick Pusher: Automatic nose-down input if approaching stall
  • AOA Sensors: Multiple angle-of-attack sensors for redundancy
  • Pilot Override: Pilot can override stick pusher if necessary

Control Feel & Trim Systems

Artificial Feel System:

Since the flight controls are fully hydraulically powered, an artificial feel system provides appropriate control forces to the pilot:

  • Q-Feel: Control forces vary with dynamic pressure (airspeed)
  • Purpose: Prevents overstressing aircraft at high speeds
  • Implementation: Spring cartridges in control system
  • Effect: Higher control forces at higher airspeeds

Trim Systems:

  • Pitch Trim: Electric trim, adjustable in flight
  • Roll Trim: Electric aileron trim
  • Yaw Trim: Electric rudder trim
  • Trim Indication: Displayed on primary flight displays
  • Trim Speed: Appropriate rate to prevent over-trimming
  • Autopilot Integration: Autopilot can command trim automatically
