The 800mph Gulfstream G650 - fastest Civil Aircraft

Gulfstream G650 – History

Gulfstream’s latest remarkable aircraft is the Gulfstream

G650, also known as the G6. With its ultra-long

intercontinental range of 8,000 miles, your private Gulfstream

charter can be arranged by Charter Flight Group to get you to

any destination on the planet in the height of style.

Introduced in 2008, this heavy twin-engine American jet is

produced by Gulfstream Aerospace and is their largest and

fastest business jet to date. The Gulfstream G650 will

definitely compete favorably in providing private jet service

when compared to Global Express, Airbus Corporate Jets and the

Boeing Business Jet. Your private Gulfstream charter on the

G650 will allow you to travel to and from unlimited global

destinations in exquisite comfort, with better access than

commercial airline flights can offer.

Gulfstream has always been a name to recon with in the

Business Jet scene and now the just reaffirms its position on

the top with a phenomenal offering – The Gulfstream G650.

Though developments had started back in 2005, Gulfstream

officially announced the G650 in 2008 with features that will

gives its competition many sleepless nights.

The Gulfstream is capable of cruising at Mach 0.85 at over

51,000 ft over land and has a maximum non stop range of 7,000

Nautical Miles. Also the maximum specified speed for the G650

is Mach 0.925, which is almost the sounds speed and if any

other sub sonic private jet that can come near those figures

is the Cessna Citation X with a max speed of Mach 0.92 i.e.

0.005 slower than the Gulfstream. A service ceiling of 51,000

ft assures the Gulfstream G650 flies well over the crowded

space. The G650 uses Rolls Royce BR725 series engines for a

silent more economic and well as powerful experience.

Performance
The G650 is powered by the new Rolls-Royce BR725 engine, which

produces 16,100 pounds of thrust at take-off. Manufactured by

Rolls-Royce in Germany, the BR725 engine features a 50-inch

swept fan with 24 blades for improved flow, increased

efficiency, reduced noise and lower emissions. The G650 has

fuel-burn levels comparable to those of smaller aircraft.

Gulfstream claims the empty weight of the G650 to be less

than 10,000 pounds with a take off distance of 6000 ft and

landing distance of 3000 ft. This makes G650 capable of

operating from the smaller (not so busy) airports worldwide.

Gulfstream has gone against tradition for designing the

fuselage and instead of a regular circular structure has opted

for a oval fuselage with four distinct radii, also breaking

from the current trend of making the fuselage with composite

materials, Gulfstream uses metal to do so, with composites

being applied on the engine cowlings, winglets etc. The entire

fuel in the G650 will be housed in its wings.

The Gulfstream G650 is a delight for its passengers with hi

-tech entertainment features, wireless internet and satellite

phones. The G650 will maintain a cabin altitude of 2,765 feet

when flying as 41,000 ft the typical flying height and sets

recorders by controlling the cabin altitude at 4,850 ft at its

certified ceiling of 51,000 ft. The cabin has a stand up

height of 6 ft 5 inches and is 14 inches wider than the G550

cabin. Customers can choose from 12 different floor plans. The

Gulfstream G650 has bigger sized windows than every business

jet available today and 18 such windows are allotted for each

seat which are now wider and covers more area, thanks to the

cabin space. Also Gulfstream’s Cabin Essential Design

Philosophy assures that there is no loss in cabin

functionality due to any Single-point failure, meaning the

bathroom flash, water and other entertainment features are

always available which are much necessary for the long flights

the Gulfstream G650 is capable of. The G650 also comes with a

fully functional kitchen and a meal table.

There is lot for the pilots too. The G650 uses fly by wire

to control the operations with the only other jet using the

same is the Dassault Falcon 7X. The jet’s Planeview II™

cockpit is equipped with Triplex Flight Management System, 3

Dimensional weather radar, Emergency Automatic Decent along

with other advanced features. Gulfstream uses Kollsman (EVS

II) and Honeywell (SV-PFD) in the G650 cockpit which helps the

pilots to get a superior vision of the approaching obstacles

and the terrain even in adverse weather conditions.

Whether you are traveling for work or having fun, private jet

service on the G650 will save you from the headaches of

overcrowded airports and long security lines, and reduce the

fatigue of commercial airline travel. Other specifications of
