Gulfstream Aerospace's flagship business jet, the G700, has achieved a significant milestone by setting 65 city-pair speed records. The aircraft demonstrated its capabilities during a global tour, covering over 55,000 nautical miles across six continents. Gulfstream aimed to showcase the jet's ability to connect distant cities faster than any other business jet.
The G700 traveled from Houston, Texas, to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 13 hours and 40 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.88. Other record-breaking routes included Paris to Dubai, Singapore to Istanbul, and Buenos Aires to Riyadh. These records have been officially recognized by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) and ratified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
Powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, the G700 offers high efficiency and low emissions while cruising at Mach 0.90 with a maximum range of 7,750 nautical miles at Mach 0.85. Its maximum operating altitude of 51,000 feet allows for smoother rides and reduced turbulence.
