Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. said its new G700 jet will perform better while providing more cabin comfort than previously expected. During certification flight testing the airplane achieved increased range and speed while improving cabin altitude compared with figures announced earlier.
The company said its G700’s range has increased to 7,750 nm or 14,353 kilometers at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nm or 12,316 km at Mach 0.90. This marks a gain of 250 nm or 463 km at both speeds compared with original projections. The G700’s maximum operating speed also increased to Mach 0.935 from Mach 0.925, giving the G700 the highest speed in the Gulfstream fleet.
