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 introduced the G500 and G600 business jets, designed to bring the advanced technology, speed, and comfort of its flagship G650 to a slightly lower-priced market segment.
- These new aircraft feature revolutionary innovations including the touch-screen Symmetry flight deck with active control sidesticks, highly efficient Pratt & Whitney 800 series engines, and cabins offering G650-level quietness, low altitude, and large windows.
- Developed with extensive customer input, the G500 and G600 offer impressive range (up to 6,200 nm for the G600) and high-subsonic speeds (up to Mach 0.90), reinforcing Gulfstream's leadership in the large-cabin business jet market.
