This latest record brings the total city-pair speed records for the Gulfstream fleet to more than 760.
The Gulfstream G800 can travel 8,200 nautical miles/15,186 kilometers at its long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85 and 7,000 nm/12,964 km at its high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90, making it the longest-range aircraft in Gulfstream’s fleet. The G800 features a low cabin altitude of 2,840 feet/866 meters when flying at 41,000 ft/12,497 m, 100% fresh air in the cabin, a plasma ionization air purification system and 16 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows. The interior can be configured with up to four living areas or three living areas and a crew compartment.
With a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935 and a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90, the G700 also features the most spacious cabin in the industry with natural light from 20 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows. The performance capabilities of both the G700 and G800 can be attributed to the combination of Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and the Gulfstream-designed advanced aerodynamic wing and high-speed winglets.
