Cabin Space
Cabin space: The spacious cabin of the Global 7500 has room for a dedicated, permanent bedroom area.
Bombardier Centre of Excellence
Bombardier Centre of Excellence: At this Bombardier facility on the outskirts of Montreal, the cabin interiors of some of the world’s most luxurious private jets come into being.
Craftsmanship
Artisans: Just like in the artisan neighborhoods of old European towns, each section of the factory floor is dominated by a particular craft.
Industry Standards
Industry: Carpentry in one corner, upholstery in another — some areas look more like an artistic atelier than an aircraft plant.
Interior Design
Interior design: Private jet buyers can be pretty demanding when it comes to matters of comfort and style.
Materials Used
Materials: The materials used for the interiors are a mix of luxury natural materials, such as wood and leather, and light, strong composites.
Fittings and Customization
Fittings: For example, a broad range of expensive woods may be used (as long as they pass flammability tests), but its application is often restricted to the uppermost surface layers.
Optimizing Cabin Items
Monuments: Much of the work being done at the Centre of Excellence has to do with optimizing ‘monuments.’ That’s industry parlance for the different items that furnish the cabin.
The Nuage Seat
Nuage: Bombardier’s state-of-the-art ergonomic seat, called The Nuage (French for ‘cloud’), is the result of a seven-year-long research and engineering process.
Exclusive Access
Rarely seen: The Centre of Excellence is usually out of bounds, even for high-powered customers.
Completion Centre
Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre: Anyone lucky enough to be on the waiting list for one of Bombardier’s new executive jets will pick it up at the nearby Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre.
Showroom Experience
Showroom: It’s not so different from choosing the perfect decor for your home — but with the added complexity that, as luxurious as your tastes might be, it all needs to fit into an eight-foot by six-foot flying metal tube.
