Key Takeaways:
The Gulfstream G800 has received certification from both the FAA and EASA, clearing the way for customer deliveries in the U.S. and Europe.
It boasts the world's longest range for a private business jet (8,200 nautical miles at Mach 0.85) and features enhanced capabilities, including a faster maximum operating speed (Mach 0.935) and shorter takeoff/landing distances.
The jet's superior performance is attributed to its Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and Gulfstream-designed aerodynamic wing, while also offering a low cabin altitude, panoramic windows, and flexible interior layouts.
Gulfstream Aerospace and parent company General Dynamics announced Wednesday that the brand-new G800 has received certification from both the FAA and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The news comes less than three months after the Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines on both the G800 and Gulfstream G700 received FAA certification.
