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 production test aircraft set two new city-pair speed records on its first international flights, connecting Savannah, Georgia, to Doha, Qatar, and then Doha to Paris, France.
- The aircraft demonstrated impressive speed and range, completing the Savannah-Doha leg (6,711 nm) in 13 hours and 16 minutes at Mach 0.88, and the Doha-Paris leg (2,953 nm) in 6 hours and 15 minutes at Mach 0.90.
- These record-setting flights emphasized Gulfstream's commitment to sustainability, with the Doha flight fueled by a sustainable aviation fuel blend and carbon offsets applied to both journeys.
- Beyond speed and distance, the G700's fully outfitted cabin, featuring up to five living spaces and an optional ultra-long galley, received positive feedback.
