Gulfstream has set another speed record with its new ultra-long-range jet, the G700—this time en route to the Singapore Airshow.
The twinjet earned its 50th speed record flying from Los Angeles to Nice, traveling 5,197 nautical miles (9,625 km). The aircraft made the carbon-neutral journey in 10 hours and 13 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.90.
The U.S. jet maker then snagged its 51st speed record, covering the 5,754 nm (10,656 km), between Nice to Singapore on a carbon-neutral flight in 11 hours and 30 minutes—also at an average speed of Mach 0.90.
“These latest records once again prove that the G700 can help our customers reach their destinations faster,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “We are excited to return to the Singapore Airshow as we continue to see impressive business growth in the Asia-Pacific region. Demand for Gulfstream’s high-performance capabilities has never been greater, and we look forward to showcasing our next-generation aircraft, which lead the industry in innovation, performance, and cabin comfort.”
The ultra-large twinjet is making its debut at the Singapore Airshow together with the ultra-long-range G600. The record-breaking flights come after the manufacturer set a city-pair record in December 2023, flying between Tokyo to Savannah at an average speed of Mach 0.91. The 6,365 nm (11,788 km) flight lasted 10 hours and 53 minutes.
