Bigger, further, more beautiful and faster: the American aircraft manufacturer hits hard with the all-new Gulfstream G700 presented to the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) in Vegas.

Bombardier has a concern. In the business aviation sector, competition is fierce and the Canadian aircraft manufacturer seemed to have taken a step ahead of other market leaders with its Global 7500. But Gulfstream took advantage of the NBAA, in Las Vegas from 22 to October 24, to present the Gulfstream G700, a jet that it presents as the best of the best of the industry.

Even more, Mark Burns, President of the American aircraft manufacturer, considers this presentation as “the most shattering announcement in the history of aviation, which raises the bar for us, and for all aircraft manufacturers”. Just that!

If he certainly exaggerates, his G700 is a future frame in its class. First, the nerve of war: distance. He promises to cover 13,890 kilometers at Mach 0.85. But it also offers the option of traveling “only” 11,850 kilometers, but at Mach 0.90.

The Gulfstream G700 borrows its fuselage from the G650ER but has offered a cabin longer by three meters thanks to an optimization of the interiors.

Delivery in 2022

Higher performance and a more comfortable cabin, two “details” that come at a price: $ 75,000,000. Ten million more than the G650ER! The G700 will therefore be one of the most expensive private jets on the market.

Not enough to scare customers. However, Qatar Airways, a regular customer of the aircraft manufacturer, has already ordered from Gulfstream, Before arriving in Doha, it will still have to pass the test flight course, well prepared by 14,000 hours of laboratory tests … The first deliveries are scheduled for 2022.
