Gulfstream Aerospace’s flagship G700 will have more range and speed, in addition to better passenger comfort, than previously announced, the Savannah, Georgia-based company said yesterday. The G700 flight-test program is also nearing completion, with more than 4,100 hours flown by five flight-test aircraft and two outfitted production-test aircraft. Certification and service entry of the ultra-long-range twinjet is set for the fourth quarter of 2023, a company spokeswoman told AIN.

The G700’s range has been increased to 7,750 nm at Mach 0.85 and to 6,650 nm at Mach 0.90, representing a 250-nm boost at both speeds versus original projections. Mmo was also increased, from Mach 0.925 to Mach 0.935, matching the top speed of the midsize Cessna Citation X+. Meanwhile, the cabin altitude has been further reduced to 2,840 feet at 41,000 feet, meaning passengers should experience less fatigue on flights.
