In March Gulfstream announced development of a new model, the 650, the first clean sheet Gulfstream business jet since the G-II laid the foundation for the most successful line of large cabin business jets in the 1960s. The 650 is a response to Gulfstream customers who want more cabin space, longer range and more cruise speed, and it will set the standard in each of those categories.
The G650 cabin will be 14 inches wider than the cabin on the G550 and other Gulfstreams, the first cabin cross-section size change since the original Gulfstream I turboprop was designed in the 1950s. And the 650 will have three inches more headroom, so even people 6 feet 5 inches can stand straight and tall in the cabin.
