Gulfstream Begins Flight Testing G800 With Cabin Interior

Validating Design And Performance For Comfort And Reliability

Gulfstream Aerospace announced the first flight of its G800 outfitted with an interior to validate the cabin design and performance of the aircraft with a focus on the total passenger experience.

The flight lasted an hour and 41 minutes and reached an altitude of 46,000 feet (14,021 meters) with a top speed of Mach 0.91. This is the third aircraft in the certification program and will do extensive and repetitive testing of all systems during all phases of flight. The flights will include a variety of missions including overnight trips, hot and cold weather scenarios and turbulence.

Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream said, “The G800 flight test program is making great progress, reaffirming our confidence in the flexibility, durability and reliability this aircraft will provide. With its vast range of innovative customization options, the ultralong-range G800 is a true testament to our industry-leading completions and interior and industrial design teams and their commitment to bespoke artistry.”

The G800 has an ‘ultragalley’ with an abundance of counter, refrigeration, accessory, and storage space. It also has a beverage maker and an array of cooking appliances.

The cabin can be configured with up to four living areas and accommodate 19 passengers with sleeping for up to 10. There is also a dedicated crew compartment.

The G800 is the longest-range aircraft Gulfstream has ever designed. It is capable of flying 8,000 nm (14,816 km) at Mach 0.85 and 7,000 nm (12,964 km) at Mach 0.90, with the best fuel efficiency and lowest carbon footprint in its class.
