en.Wedoany.com Reported - Gulfstream Aerospace's flagship model, the Gulfstream G700 business jet, has achieved two significant milestones: the 100th customer delivery and the 100th city-pair speed record.
The latest speed record was set on a flight from Savannah, Georgia to San Jose, California, completing the journey 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, in 4 hours and 14 minutes, also at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.91.
These achievements highlight the G700's position at the top of the business aviation market. Designed for ultra-long-range missions, the aircraft combines high-speed performance with one of the largest and most versatile cabins in its class. Powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, the G700 has a range of 7,750 nautical miles (14,353 kilometers) at Mach 0.85, enabling nonstop flights between city pairs such as New York to Hong Kong or London to Singapore. The aircraft can also cruise 6,650 nautical miles (12,316 kilometers) at Mach 0.90, with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935.
A key feature of the G700 is its spacious cabin, which can be configured with up to five living areas and a dedicated crew compartment. The cabin incorporates Gulfstream's signature design elements, including 20 panoramic oval windows, 100% fresh air circulation, a low cabin pressure altitude, and an advanced lighting system designed to enhance passenger comfort on long-haul flights.
The aircraft is equipped with Gulfstream's next-generation Symmetry Flight Deck, featuring active control sidesticks, touchscreen avionics, and flight phase intelligence technology, designed to reduce pilot workload and improve operational efficiency. Safety technologies include the Combined Vision System, which integrates enhanced and synthetic vision into a single display to improve situational awareness, particularly under challenging operating conditions.
The G700 is manufactured at Gulfstream's production campus in Savannah, Georgia, which utilizes advanced robotics, digital manufacturing technologies, and precision assembly processes to support aircraft production. Since entering service, the aircraft has accumulated an increasing number of speed records while attracting strong demand from global corporate operators, charter providers, and private owners.
More than 700 pilots have completed G700 type rating training through FlightSafety International, and the aircraft is now certified in over 20 countries, supporting its expanding global fleet.
With 100 aircraft delivered and 100 speed records, the G700 continues to demonstrate the performance, range, and cabin capabilities that make it the flagship model in Gulfstream's business jet lineup.
