(Reuters) -Bombardier said on Wednesday its Global 8000 business jet, expected to be the fastest civilian plane since the Concorde, has received a certification from Canada’s transport regulator.
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency certification would follow, the Canadian aircraft maker said.
The Global 8000 jet is expected to have a top speed of 0.95 mach, or about 729 miles per hour.
Last month, Bombardier unveiled a new order from Comlux Aviation for its Global 8000 business jet to its backlog.
The company will deliver the first of these planes later this year, but has not yet revealed the identity of the customer as on Wednesday.
