Gulfstream revealed the newest models in its lineup earlier this week, with the G400 large-cabin jet and the flagship G800 ultralong-range continent connector. Flying has a sneak peek at the two platforms. The G800 is expected to enter into service in 2023, with the G400 delivering in 2025.

Perhaps it was a foregone conclusion that Gulfstream would fill in the blanks numerically in its lineup from the large cabin midsize G280 to the nearly-certificated ultralong range G700.

The fully outfitted G700 then flew from Doha, to Paris, France, for another city-pair record. On the run between Savannah and Doha, the G700—N706GD—clocked an average speed of Mach 0.88, over a distance […]

In September, Gulfstream saw its hard work and investment in new products pay off in the certification of not one but two business jets: the remarkable, clean-sheet Gulfstream G650 and the nearly equally remarkable Gulfstream G280 supermidsize model. I had the privilege of being the first non-company or government pilot to fly the G280. As […]
