[edit] Specifications

I added a bunch of specs. I found them at the Bombardier web site. I tried to put as many useful figures from that site onto this page as i could.

However, a few of the "standard" specifications were not provided, so i calculated him. THese are the ones in question:

Rate of climb: 436m/min (1433 ft/min)
Wing loading: 468.4 kg/m² (95.9 lb/ft²)
Thrust/weight: 2.95 N/kg (0.301 lbf/lb)

For rate of climb, i used the bombardier figure of 43,000 ft in 30 mins, and just calculated per min.

For wing loading and thrust/weight, i used the maximum weight figure in the calcuation.

Additionally, the thrust/weight is often expressed (on other pages) as kg/N or lb/lbf, which is weight/thrust. I am not sure which way is correct.

If anyone can correct me on this, or have any suggestion, go for it.

[edit] Global Express owner error

Greetings: I would like to alert you to an error on Global Express owners list. You have Oprah Winfrey listed as an owner. I checked the F.A.A. website a while back in the aircfaft registry section and according to their records. Miss Winfrey by way of Harpo Inc. owns a Gulfstream-4. Iv'e included the address to the page below. I would make the change myself but dont feel it is proper, and I would prefer not to as I am not that bold. I hope this helps.

Page address http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/nnumsql.asp?NNumbertxt=540W

Go in Peace. Echo1084

The Harpo Inc registration lists two aircraft, one unamed. The other is a BD-700. (global Express)--74.104.48.172 20:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC) http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/nnumsql.asp?NNumbertxt=54SL

[edit] Proposed page name change

Bombardier calls this range the "Bombardier Global Family" and not all the range have "Express" in their name. I therefore propose renaming this page to "Bombardier Global Family". Any objections? Piquante 19:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
