Gulfstream G700 Tops 100 Speed Records and Deliveries

Gulfstream Aerospace notched two key milestones for its ultra-long-range G700: the 100th customer delivery and 100th city-pair speed record.

The delivery, to an unnamed customer, comes a little more than two years after the 7,750-nm business jet first entered service. Receiving FAA certification on March 29, 2024, the aircraft has since received approvals in more than 20 countries. More than 700 pilots have been type-rated on the model.

As for the speed record, the 100th was logged on a trip from Savannah, Georgia, to San Jose, California. That journey was completed in 4 hours 36 minutes with an average cruise speed of Mach 0.91. Subsequently, the aircraft, which has an Mmo of Mach 0.935, set yet another record between San Jose and Teterboro, New Jersey, in 4 hours 14 minutes, also at Mach 0.91.

“The G700 has once again set a new benchmark, firmly establishing itself as the business aviation industry flagship,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “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.”
