Introducing: Gulfstream G650
Words: David Winstanley
It always pays to arrive in style, and there’s no better way to touch down on the tarmac of your next destination than in the new Gulfstream G650.
A beautifully designed and exquisitely realised aircraft, the G650 combines cutting-edge technology with effortless style and practicality. Startlingly graceful with a tremendous range and speed, this aircraft shrinks the world even further, making flights that would be dauntingly long and laborious in commercial airliners seem simple and manageable.
With eight passengers reclining in luxurious comfort, the G650 can reach a maximum range of 7,000 Nautical Miles/12,964 kilometers nonstop at an operating speed of Mach 0.85. With a dizzying maximum cruise altitude of 51,000 feet you could be happily flying over the heads of airliners’ passengers as they struggle on their journey.
For business, the G650 is a real ace-in-the-hole, bestowing passengers with the advantages of speed, range and sublime performance while giving them a flawlessly comfortable ride. The G650’s passengers can arrive ready, relaxed and ahead of any competition travelling via commercial flights; in fact you could zip from New York to Tokyo over an hour faster than on a standard airliner.
The cabin can be configured with one of 12 floorplans, seating up to 18 passengers. This allows the aircraft’s owners to opt for maximum seating and more luxury or a more meeting-based, business-focused set up. The G650’s comfortable cabin can be improved further with the ability to decrease the level of ‘cabin altitude’ to 3,000ft/914m; this means the cabin pressure is lower than in other aircraft, so passengers’ breathing and circulation is not so stressed during a longer flight.
With the Gulfstream G650’s stylish design, sumptuous in-flight comfort, phenomenal performance and a clear advantage in speed and range, passengers are spoilt in every way imaginable. If the journey truly is the destination, then the G650 truly is the place you want to be and the aircraft you want to fly in.
