Gulfstream Delivers 50th Gulfstream G600

The G600 Can Travel 6,600 Nautical Miles At Mach 0.85 And 5,600 NM At Mach 0.90

Gulfstream has delivered its 50th Gulfstream G600. The aircraft was delivered to a North America-based customer.

“With every new customer delivery, operators around the world are experiencing the tremendous benefits of the G600,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “The G600 dominates the sweet spot of range, speed, cabin comfort and fuel-efficiency, and overwhelming market enthusiasm is exceeding even our own high expectations.”

The G600, which entered service in August 2019, features leading fuel-efficiency, a result of the advanced design and aerodynamics of the Gulfstream wing combined with Pratt & Whitney 800-series engines. The wing design reduces drag, and the engines provide improvements in environmental efficiency. Nitrogen oxide emissions are 27% lower than the latest ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection’s international requirements, and emissions for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and smoke are more than 75% better than international requirements.

The G600 is also significantly quieter than the latest Stage 5 noise limits, greatly decreasing the impact the aircraft has on communities surrounding airports during takeoff and landing. Along with the Gulfstream G500, the G600 was the first aircraft, business or commercial, to be certified to Stage 5 noise standards.

The G600 can travel 6,600 nautical miles at Mach 0.85 and 5,600 nm at Mach 0.90. To date, the aircraft has set more than 20 city-pair speed records around the world. In addition to the Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, the G600 has earned certifications from the United Kingdom, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Mexico, San Marino and Turkey.

The G600 is manufactured at the company’s worldwide headquarters in Savannah and completed by Gulfstream’s interior outfitters in Savannah and at Gulfstream facilities in Dallas and Appleton, Wisconsin.
