The Canadian-built Bombardier Global Express was the main competition to Gulfstream’s GV, and both were developed in the 1990s with the emergence of a new category of ultra-long-range business jet with range figures exceeding a then-unheard-of 6,000 nautical miles. The Global Express used the same Rolls-Royce turbofan engines as the GV, but the Bombardier jet actually had a somewhat roomier cabin than its main rival, and it quickly built a following when it hit the market in 1998.
