Gulfstream Aerospace said in a news release on April 15 that flight testing on its newest aircraft, the ultra-long-range G700, had surpassed the 1,100-hour mark in its first year of testing. In addition to the five test aircraft currently flying, the flight-test program now includes a fully completed production test aircraft to evaluate the interior elements throughout the aircraft’s up to five living areas, including all-new seating and Gulfstream’s new ultrahigh-definition circadian lighting system. The G700 interior also features a galley with more than 10 feet of counter space, a grand suite with an optional shower, a six-place conference and dining table, 20 panoramic windows and the Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100 percent fresh, never recirculated air, low cabin altitude, and whisper-quiet noise levels.
