Gulfstream Aerospace handed over the 100th ultra-long-range&nbsp;G600 to a customer, the Savannah, Georgia airframer announced yesterday. Completed at Gulfstream’s Dallas center, the milestone aircraft was delivered to an unnamed customer in North America. The&nbsp;mark was reached in just 3.5 years since the first G600 was delivered in August 2019 and certified two months earlier. It also comes on the heels of the 100th customer delivery of its slightly smaller G500 sibling that occurred in the second half of last year.
"Thanks to its highly customizable cabin, fuel-efficient design, and exceptional performance capabilities, we are seeing unwavering customer demand,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “The 100th G600 customer delivery is a testament to that excellence and surging popularity.”
The G600 can travel 6,600 nm at Mach 0.85 or 5,600 nm at Mach 0.90. The twinjet has set more than 35 city-pair records, at least 10 of which had already occurred by the time of its first customer delivery. City-pair records have included Washington, D.C., to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 11 hours 40 minutes; Paris to Rio de Janeiro in 9 hours 42 minutes; and London to Seattle in 8 hours 40 minutes.

News and developments about airplanes, helicopters and unmanned air vehicles used in all varieties of operations, including airlines, military, business, commercial, general aviation and private.
