Gulfstream Further Lowers G700 Cabin Altitude
Lowered from the original target of 3,290 ft, the Gulfstream G700 cabin altitude change comes as the aircraft approaches service entry next year.
Gulfstream's G700 will have the lowest cabin altitude in the industry, below 3,000 feet, according to the Savannah, Georgia manufacturer. The company currently is testing some 15,500 points on the G700 interior with a fully outfitted production aircraft that took to the skies in April. (Photo: Gulfstream Aerospace)

Gulfstream Aerospace is lowering the cabin altitude of its G700 flagship to 2,916 feet at 41,000 feet, marking an improvement from the originally announced 3,290-foot cabin altitude. The change, Gulfstream said, will give the 7,500-nm airplane the lowest cabin altitude of any large-cabin business jet.
