Hey Guys,

Does anybody know whether the Global Express XRS have any belly space for baggages or not?
I believe CRJ200 has the belly space but I'm not sure if it's all taken as fuel tanks for GLE or not.

Thanks

I know that the Global 5000 doesn't have belly storage for anything, I don't think it's all fuel tanks, but it is nice to always have the bags accessible in flight. I would bet the express has the same situation. This also seems to be standard in bizjets. Maybe we could ask the opposite question? Do any long range bizjets carry luggage in the belly?

I know for a fact that the XRS does not have a place for bags in the belly but rather in the back.

I dont know for sure but I would not be surprised if the BBJ did. But sure if you think about the private 767,727,707 etc. they all are made with the cargo doors for baggage but the only reason that would not be used is if they decided to add extra fuel tanks or maybe if you have one built it is even an option not to have them put in but I doubt that since there may have to be some certification to the airframe if you did that.

All the BBJs have lower deck cargo capacity, but assuming you're referring to the original BBJ (the 737-700 with the -800 wing), the amount of space on the lower deck varies from 611 cu.ft to 160 cu.ft depending on how many extra fuel tanks are installed (three in the first case, the maximum of nine in the last).

Electrical racks primarily.
