A production test aircraft from Gulfstream’s G700 program connected Savannah, Georgia, and Doha, Qatar, for the first speed record between those cities. The fully outfitted G700 then flew from Doha, to Paris, France, for another city-pair record.
Gulfstream G700 Sets New City-Pair Speed Record
Key Takeaways:
- A Gulfstream G700 test aircraft set two new city-pair speed records on its first international flights, connecting Savannah, Georgia, to Doha, Qatar (Mach 0.88 over 6,711 nm), and then Doha to Paris, France (Mach 0.90 over 2,953 nm).
- The record flight to Doha was fueled with a sustainable aviation fuel blend, and carbon offsets will be applied to both flights, demonstrating Gulfstream's commitment to sustainability.
- These flights not only showcased the G700's speed and distance capabilities but also allowed for in-person introduction of its highly-praised, fully outfitted, and spacious cabin to customers in the Middle East and Europe.
