The aircraft also has a new ‘zero flaps’ take-off ability, which will allow access to more ‘hot and high’ airports. The first flight of the aircraft took place in January 2005 and it entered service in December 2005. The Global Express XRS is the current production model.
The aircraft’s avionics system is based on the Honeywell Primus 2000 XP II with triple digital air data computers, a Thales Avionics automatic flight control system, a dual flight management system, a terrain collision avoidance system TCAS II with an electronic ground proximity warning system. So as you can see this jet pretty much is the epitome of technology and has just about everything you could need.
