Key Takeaways:

  • The new Gulfstream G650 has exceeded original performance projections, now capable of flying farther and faster than initially targeted.
  • Its high-speed cruise range at Mach 0.90 increased by 1,000 nautical miles to 6,000 nm, enabling faster direct travel for ultra-long-range city pairs and saving 40 minutes on a 6,000-nm mission compared to a G550.
  • The G650's takeoff balanced field length also decreased to 5,858 feet, and with a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.925, it is the fastest certified civil aircraft in production.

When buyers start taking delivery of their new Gulfstream G650s later this year, they will be delighted to learn that the ultra-long-range business jet can fly farther at faster speeds than originally projected.

Gulfstream says the G650’s range at its high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90 is now 6,000 nautical miles, a 1,000-nm increase over the original target of 5,000 nm. The additional capability makes city pairs such as Tokyo to New York, New York to Dubai, Shanghai to London and Moscow to Los Angeles at faster speeds.
