Gulfstream G700 Nabs Over 65 City-Pair Speed Records

Global Interest Driven By Demonstrated Performance

Gulfstream Aerospace announced its ultralarge-cabin Gulfstream G700 recently surpassed 65 city-pair speed records.

The latest record-breaking flights included a 6,507 nm/12,052 km trip from Los Angeles to Sydney in just 14 hours and 26 minutes. In addition, a 4,090 nm/7,574 km flight from Savannah to Honolulu was made using a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The most recent records are awaiting confirmation for the U.S. National Aeronautic Association and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in Switzerland for official recognition as world records.

Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream said, “Gulfstream continues to see remarkable interest in the G700 around the world, and we are pleased to take it directly to our customers to showcase the extensive capabilities this industry-leading aircraft has to offer. The G700 is unmatched in performing these record-setting flights and illustrates its unique combination of speed, range and cabin size.”

The G700 features the largest, most spacious cabin in the industry with seating for up to 19, as well as such amenities as 100% fresh air, whisper-quiet noise levels, natural light from 20 Gulfstream panoramic oval windows, and the industry’s lowest cabin altitude of 2,840 feet at 41,000 feet.

Pilots enjoy flying it as well, with its twin Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines delivering 18,250 pounds of thrust at takeoff and the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck. It will fly at a maximum Mach 0.935, while its maximum range is 7,750 nm at Mach 0.85. Its high-speed cruise range is 6,650 nm at Mach 0.90.
