Gulfstream Aerospace has unveiled a pair of new twinjets—the G400 and G800—that will bookend each side of its large-cabin jet family and expand that line to six aircraft, beyond the G500, G600, G650ER, and G700. Announced this evening amid fanfare during a ceremony at Gulfstream’s Savannah, Georgia headquarters, the 4,200-nm G400 derived from the G500/600 fills the gap between the super-midsize G280 and G500, while the 8,000-nm G800 that descends from the G650ER throws down a new gauntlet for range in its category.

Three G800s are slated to take part in flight testing, with the first—dubbed T1—already having been rolled out. That aircraft began taxiing under its own power last month in Savannah. Plans call for first flight by year-end. Meanwhile, the G400 is slated to begin flight testing in early 2023.
