Gulfstream's Fly-by-Wire BizJet Gets Ready For Prime-Time
Just a few weeks ago, the power players at Gulfstream updated
one and all on the final details leading up to eventual production
of Gulfstream's most ambitious and capable bizjet, yet, the G650.
Gulfstream officials noted that the aircraft has moved several
steps closer to its anticipated certification later this year after
completing tests of its fly-by-wire system, engine inlet
compatibility and operation in hot weather, among other tests. At
the time of this update, the four aircraft remaining in the
flight-test program had accumulated more than 2,077 hours on more
than 626 flights.
