Well how about this:

World’s fastest passenger jet goes supersonic in tests

… a Global 7500 test vehicle broke the sound barrier during a demonstration flight last May, achieving speeds of more than Mach 1.015.

Huh. I would *assume* that a power-dive might have been involved, but it’s still impressive. The Bombardier Global 8000 is planned to enter service in 2025, have a range of 8,000 nautical miles, carry 19 passengers and fly at Mach 0.94 (top speed).
