Bombardier Aerospace announced yesterday that it delivered a Global 6000 aircraft to the US Air Force last Thursday, in a ceremony conducted at a Bombardier facility in Connecticut. This aircraft is the fourth Bombardier Global aircraft to be added to the existing US Air Force inventory with E-11A Military Designation. The intention is to equip thisnew addition with the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node or BACN, in time for deployment next summer. This system will allow disparate battlefield communications systems to share data. The Global 6000 jet is designed and certified to operate at altitudes of up to 51,000 feet (15,545 m)*. It flies faster, farther, accesses shorter airfields, and climbs quicker thanany other business jet in its class. It offers an expansive cabin for equipment and mission personnel, unmatched power generation capacityand higher ground clearance to support sensor installations. In addition, its remarkably damage-tolerant airframe provides superior structural integrity
