World’s Fastest Civilian Jet Since Concorde Secures FAA Certification

The Bombardier Global 8000 has completed its certification process with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), becoming the fastest civilian jet to receive FAA approval since the famous Concorde almost half a century ago. Bombardier’s new ultra-long-range business jet boasts a top speed of Mach 0.95 (729 mph) and officially entered service earlier this month following certification by Transport Canada in early November.
