In the wake of Gulfstream’s blockbuster introduction of its flagship G650 (and now G650ER) fly-by-wire, ultralong-range and high-subsonic beauties, I guess I should have stopped being surprised by any large-body wonders the company puts in the air. The G650 Gulfstream jet set the standard for the ultralong-range category, leaving its two large-cabin, ultralong-range rivals staring at the 650’s tail section, both literally and figuratively, as the Gulfstream jet pulled away.
Gulfstream Jet Review: G500 and G600
Key Takeaways:
- Gulfstream unveiled the G500 and G600 business jets, leveraging advanced technology from their flagship G650 to offer high-speed, large-cabin aircraft with slightly less range and lower price points.
- These new models feature the advanced "Symmetry flight deck" with touchscreens and the first-ever active control sidesticks in civil aviation, alongside highly efficient Pratt & Whitney 800 series engines.
- Designed with extensive customer input, the G500 and G600 boast spacious, quiet cabins with industry-leading large windows and low cabin altitudes, prioritizing comfort and cutting-edge design.
- With deliveries projected for 2018 (G500) and 2019 (G600), these new jets are poised to reinforce Gulfstream's leadership in the large-cabin business jet segment.
