Even aboard business airplanes, there are people who simply don’t like the bumps that often accompany flying. Some passengers tell operators many of the pets flying along these days don’t like the bumps either. Bombardier believes a smooth ride is an important benefit to be had in the right aircraft. The company created a small wing-ride demonstration for trade shows that they demonstrated for Flying yesterday at Las Vegas Henderson Field. The Canadian aircraft builder wanted the demo to show customers why a smooth ride aloft in the Global family of airplanes is more than a marketing slogan.
Bombardier’s Smooth Ride is No Accident
Key Takeaways:
- Bombardier emphasizes the smooth ride of its Global family of business jets, a key benefit for passengers and pets who dislike turbulence.
- This superior ride quality is attributed to the aircraft's unique wing design, specifically high wing loading (smaller wing area relative to aircraft weight) and increased wing flexibility.
- A longer, more slender and flexible wing, similar to a car's springs, absorbs turbulence more effectively, providing a smoother experience, which Bombardier demonstrates via a wing-flex exhibit.
