The Global 8000 replaces its Global 7500 and delivers higher performance
from the start. The aerospace firm confirmed that the aircraft reaches Mach
0.95, which makes it the fastest private jet on the market.

The company also highlighted

its range of 8,000 nautical miles, a figure demonstrated during a long-haul
test earlier this year. That distance allows nonstop flights between more
global city pairs than any competing business jet.

Military jets go faster, of course. This is the fastest commercial jet.
