Gulfstream Aerospace reports that the G450, an upgraded G400 with G550 avionics, is on track for FAA certification in the third quarter of this year. Customer deliveries are pegged to begin next spring. Since the model’s first flight on April 30 last year, the four G450 test airplanes have logged more than 1,250 flight hours on about 500 flights. Gulfstream announced the new model, which like the G400 is a derivative of the GIV-SP, at last year’s NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla.
