Milestones Highlight Performance, Speed and Advanced Manufacturing Excellence
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced its 100th customer delivery and the 100th city-pair speed record for the Gulfstream G700, underscoring the exceptional performance and speed of the aircraft, backed by Gulfstream’s advanced manufacturing excellence and widespread customer demand.
“The G700 has once again set a new benchmark, firmly establishing itself as the business aviation industry
flagship,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “As deliveries have increased, so has customer
demand. Thanks to the investments Gulfstream and our parent company, General Dynamics, have made
in next‐generation manufacturing technology and facilities, the G700 quality and maturity are second to
none. I am incredibly proud of the Gulfstream team, whose dedication and expertise continues to create
and deliver the world’s finest aviation experience.”
The 100th G700 city-pair speed record connected Savannah with San Jose, California, in 4 hours and 36
minutes at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.91. The aircraft then flew from San Jose to Teterboro, New
Jersey, making that record-setting flight in 4 hours and 14 minutes, also at Mach 0.91.
The G700 is produced at Gulfstream’s advanced manufacturing campus in Savannah, which enhances
operational efficiency through high‐technology tooling, advanced robotics and precision assembly
methods. As a result, customers benefit from aircraft that roll off the production line demonstrating
exceptional performance from day one.
With Gulfstream’s next‐generation Symmetry Flight Deck, the G700 features active control sidesticks and
the industry’s most extensive use of touch-screen technology paired with Phase‐of‐Flight intelligence,
which reduces pilot workload to help enhance safety. Additional safety features include Gulfstream’s
Combined Vision System on dual head‐up display, merging Enhanced Flight Vision System and Synthetic
Vision System into a single image to increase pilot situational awareness and open access to more
airports.
More than 700 pilots have been trained and type rated by FlightSafety International, a further testament
to the widespread appeal of the Symmetry Flight Deck’s innovative technology and pilot-centric design.
The G700 has earned certification in more than 20 countries and is in service with customers around the
world.
Featuring the most spacious cabin in the industry, the G700 can fly 7,750 nautical miles/14,353
kilometers at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nm/12,316 km at Mach 0.90 and has a maximum operating speed of
Mach 0.935. The Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100% fresh air, abundant natural light from 20
Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows, and the industry’s lowest cabin altitudes at the highest elevations
practically eliminates jet lag over the ultralong-range routes the G700 was designed to fly.
