Gulfstream G700 Achieves Milestone with 100th Delivery and 100th City-Pair Speed Record

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has announced the 100th customer delivery and the 100th city-pair speed record for the Gulfstream G700, highlighting the aircraft's exceptional performance and speed. These achievements underscore Gulfstream’s advanced manufacturing capabilities and the strong demand for the G700.

“The G700 has once again set a new benchmark, firmly establishing itself as the business aviation industry flagship,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream. “As deliveries have increased, so has customer demand. Thanks to the investments Gulfstream and our parent company, General Dynamics, have made in next-generation manufacturing technology and facilities, the G700 quality and maturity are second to none. I am incredibly proud of the Gulfstream team, whose dedication and expertise continue to create and deliver the world’s finest aviation experience.”

The 100th G700 city-pair speed record was achieved with a flight connecting Savannah, Georgia to San Jose, California in 4 hours and 36 minutes at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.91. The aircraft then flew from San Jose to Teterboro, New Jersey, completing the journey in 4 hours and 14 minutes, also at Mach 0.91.

The G700 is manufactured at Gulfstream’s advanced campus in Savannah, which utilizes high-technology tooling, advanced robotics, and precision assembly methods to enhance operational efficiency. This ensures that customers receive aircraft with exceptional performance from the moment they leave the production line.

Equipped with Gulfstream’s next-generation Symmetry Flight Deck, the G700 features active control sidesticks and the industry’s most extensive use of touch-screen technology, paired with Phase-of-Flight intelligence to reduce pilot workload and enhance safety. Additional safety features include the Combined Vision System on dual head-up displays, which merges Enhanced Flight Vision System and Synthetic Vision System into a single image, increasing pilot situational awareness and enabling access to more airports.

More than 700 pilots have been trained and type-rated on the G700 by FlightSafety International (link), further demonstrating the widespread appeal of the Symmetry Flight Deck’s innovative technology and pilot-centric design. The G700 has earned certification in over 20 countries and is in service with customers worldwide.

The G700 offers the most spacious cabin in the industry, capable of flying 7,750 nautical miles (14,353 kilometers) at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nautical miles (12,316 kilometers) at Mach 0.90, with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935. The Gulfstream Cabin Experience, featuring 100% fresh air, 20 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows, and the industry’s lowest cabin altitudes, virtually eliminates jet lag on ultralong-range routes.
