Gulfstream's new G300 super-midsize business jet successfully completed its inaugural 2-hour, 25-minute flight, officially commencing its flight test program.
The G300 is positioned as a "game changer" and new category leader, offering a blend of advanced safety, technology, performance, and large-cabin comfort in a mid-size aircraft, and is expected to replace the G280.
Key features include a range of up to 3,600 nm, a cabin accommodating up to 10 passengers across two living areas, a low cabin altitude, and a 100% fresh air system.
The first G300 took off from Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) in Israel and flew for 2 hours and 25 minutes at a speed of Mach 0.75 and an altitude of 30,000 feet, the company said. The type will now begin flight testing.
