Gulfstream President Mark Burns said,The G700 takes the very best elements from our most innovative products and unites them with cutting-edge advances to create an all-new, advanced-technology aircraft that redefines safety, comfort and range at speed.<\/p>\n
The G700 features the tallest, widest and longest cabin in business aviation and has a range of 13,890km at Mach 0.85 or 11,853km at Mach 0.90.<\/p>\n
The aircraft is powered by the Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and also features winglets to ensure it achieves high performance capabilities with its larger cabin.<\/p>\n
Gulfstream has conducted nearly 14,000 hours of lab testing in its integration- and cabin-test facilities, systems integration bench and using its iron bird. The company has successfully completed ground vibration testing, engine runs, loads calibration and all structural testing required for first flight.<\/p>\n
The G700 flight-test fleet will incorporate five traditional test aircraft and one fully outfitted production test aircraft. Manufacturing for all test aircraft is well underway.<\/p>\n

The G700 features the Symmetry Flight Deck, active-control sidesticks, touch-screen technology and Gulfstreams Predictive Landing Performance System, which gives pilots advanced warning of potential runway excursions so they can adjust approaches or go around.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
