Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has delivered its 100th G700, coinciding with the aircraft’s 100th city-pair speed record.
The milestone speed record was achieved on a flight connecting Savannah, Georgia, and San Jose, California, completed in 4 hours and 36 minutes at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.91. The aircraft then continued from San Jose to Teterboro, New Jersey, setting another record with a flight time of 4 hours and 14 minutes, also at Mach 0.91.
The G700 is produced at Gulfstream’s advanced manufacturing campus in Savannah, which enhances operational efficiency through high-technology tooling, advanced robotics and precision assembly methods.
Equipped with Gulfstream’s next-generation Symmetry Flight Deck, the aircraft features active control sidesticks and extensive use of touchscreen technology paired with Phase-of-Flight intelligence, reducing pilot workload and enhancing safety. Additional safety features include the Combined Vision System on dual head-up displays, merging the Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) into a single image to improve situational awareness and provide access to more airports.
The G700 can fly 7,750 nautical miles (14,353 km) at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nautical miles (12,316 km) at Mach 0.90, with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935.
Passengers benefit from the Gulfstream Cabin Experience, which includes 100% fresh air, abundant natural light through 20 Panoramic Oval Windows, and low cabin altitudes, helping to minimize the effects of jet lag on the ultra-long-range missions for which the aircraft was designed.
