In April, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation marked a monumental milestone with the commencement of customer deliveries for the much-anticipated Gulfstream G700. The first four G700 aircraft, now in service, exemplify the pinnacle of business aviation.
“Beginning G700 customer deliveries less than one month after achieving Federal Aviation Administration type certification marks an incredible milestone in Gulfstream’s history of raising the bar for the business aviation industry,” said Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream. “We appreciate the confidence our customers have demonstrated in our aircraft and look forward to continuing these deliveries in the weeks ahead.”
The Gulfstream G700 boasts the most spacious cabin in the industry, offering the Gulfstream Cabin Experience which includes 100 per cent fresh air, whisper-quiet noise levels, natural light from 20 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows, and the industry’s lowest cabin altitude. The aircraft set more than 50 city-pair speed records before entering service, capable of flying 7,750 nautical miles (14,353 kilometers) at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nautical miles (12,316 kilometers) at Mach 0.90. With a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935, the G700 is the fastest aircraft in the Gulfstream fleet.
“We are excited for our customers to experience the unparalleled G700 as we continue to deliver this exceptional aircraft around the world,” added Burns.
