The Global Express XRS bears all of the qualities of its ultra-long-range older sibling, but with greater range and a modified design. The XRS is designed to travel at high speeds and high altitudes. Improved from its predecessor, the wing is swept back 35 degrees, and features high ratio root-to-tip taper and high aspect ratio. Four sections of aluminum slats also enable the aircraft to take off and land at lower speeds. With room for eight passengers, the executive jet provides all of the necessary amenities for intercontinental trips.
