Key Takeaways:
The Gulfstream G800, a new ultralong-range business jet, successfully completed its maiden test flight from Savannah, Georgia.
It is projected to have the longest range of any business jet in its class (8,000 nm) and flew its first flight using a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Featuring advanced cabin technology for passenger comfort and a cutting-edge Symmetry Flight Deck, the G800 is on track to enter into service in 2023.
Last September, FLYING took an invitation to preview the newest—and largest—member of Gulfstream’s lineup of modern business jets, the G800. Now the ultralong-range platform has taken flight from the company’s headquarters in Savannah, Georgia (KSAV).
The maiden test flight departed the airport at 9 a.m. local time.
