Gulfstream G650
Executive jet aircraft · 2009
The Gulfstream G650, G700, and G800 are large business jets produced by the American company Gulfstream Aerospace. The G650 model is designated Gulfstream GVI in its type certificate. The aircraft can be configured to carry from 11 to 18 passengers over a range of 7,000 nautical miles [nmi] (13,000 km; 8,100 mi) at a top speed of Mach 0.925 (530.6 kn; 982.7 km/h; 610.6 mph).
The aircraft is powered by two Rolls-Royce BR725 turbofans, mounted on the rear fuselage. Gulfstream began the G650 program in 2005 and revealed it to the public in 2008. The G650ER is an extended-range version of the G650, adding about 500 nmi (930 km; 580 mi) by modifying the fuel system, an upgrade offered for existing G650 aircraft.
At its introduction, the G650 was the company's largest and fastest business jet, until being surpassed by the G700. Introduced in October 2019, the G700 stretched the airframe by 10 feet (3.0 m) and increased its top speed to Mach 0.935 (536.3 kn; 993.3 km/h; 617.2 mph) using a new wing and improved Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines.
