Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. said it has flown a second G700 production-test aircraft that it will use to evaluate a number of cabin features introduced when the company launched the new ultralong-range jet in 2019.

The fully-outfitted airplane follows a similar test model that has set eight international city-pair speed records. The earlier test aircraft also received the 2022 International Yacht & Aviation Award in the category of private jet design.
