As of this spring, Gulfstream has begun test flights of their fully outfitted new flagship, the G700. With the ability to fly at an altitude of 48,000 and a maximum speed of Mach 0.935, the G700 is quickly establishing itself as one of the most anticipated business jets of 2021. Powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, the G700 features a worldclass cabin and a range of 6,400 nautical miles at Mach 0.90 or 7,500 nm at Mach 0.85.
Commenting on the G700’s test program, Gulfstream’s President Mark Burns stated; “Flying a fully outfitted aircraft signals significant progress in the G700 flight-test program.” Adding more on the subject, “the G700 interior is raising the bar for cabin innovation and customization. It provides more space than ever before for Gulfstream’s precision-crafted furnishings, more opportunity for personalization and more technology to optimize passenger health, safety and enjoyment. We look forward to fully testing the cabin before delivering this amazing aircraft to customers.”
Gulfstream claims the G700 cabin is ‘the most spacious in the industry’ and has the only ‘ultragalley’ in the industry with over 10 feet of counter space. Additional highlights are said to include the ability to be configured with as many as five living areas, with options such as a ‘grand suite with optional shower’ or a ‘passenger lounge in the ultragalley.’ A host of other highlights include ‘the all-new ultrahigh-definition circadian lighting system along with Gulfstream’s signature 100% fresh, never recirculated air, the industry’s lowest cabin altitude, whisper-quiet noise levels and an unprecedented 20 panoramic oval windows.’
Interior finishes are sumptuous and offer quartz counter tops and natural stone flooring in the galley and bathrooms. Furthermore, a range of interior layout options is likely to please even the most discerning of buyers. The G700 includes design options such as a six-place dining area as well as a stateroom with a full-length wardrobe. The offerings exceed the exceptional features of her sister models, and position the G700 clearly at the forefront of a fleet which includes the award winning G650ER, G650, G600, G500, and G280.
The G700 benefits from a host of Gulfstream tech, including: The Symmetry Flight Deck with active control sidesticks, dual head-up display with Synthetic Vision, and the award winning Gulfstream Predictive Landing Performance System. With a prominent collection of innovative features and a commitment to excellence, we’re confident that the G700 will go on to become one of the world’s most coveted business jets.
