Gulfstream is reporting progress in the testing program for its new flagship G700, completing more than 100 flights to date. The Savannah, Georgia-based aircraft manufacturer also has conducted flutter testing and expanded the flight envelope at both low and high speeds. In early May, the company announced that a third airframe had joined the flight-test program.
