Overview

The airframe N18NN is a 2006-built Bombardier Global Express XRS (Bombardier Global Express XRS (BD-700-1A10)) bearing serial number 9185.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is reported to feature a 14-place executive cabin layout with a forward galley and a crew rest, consistent with listings that note 14 pax forward galley w/ crew rest. Avionics fit is reported by analogy to similar XRS airframes as Honeywell Primus 2000XP, although specific logbook avionics records for this serial were not supplied. With a long-range capability of 6,325 nm and a long-range cruise near 488 kts, typical missions for this airframe profile include transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport from its Florida base, operated in a corporate or charter role. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow Global Express XRS schedules and Rolls-Royce BR700-series engine support programs as applicable to its configuration and utilization history.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier Global Express XRS family, represented here by the BD-700-1A10 airframe, occupies the long-range ultra-large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high-altitude performance to 51,000 ft. Competing in its class with other ultra-long-range business jets, the XRS appeals to buyers seeking large cabin comfort and extended range; market demand and resale value for mid-2000s airframes are influenced by total time, avionics upgrades, and engine program status.
