December 02, 2020
With five G700 ultra-long-range jets now in the flight test program, Gulfstream Aerospace has wrapped up many of the tests required for certification of its new $75 million flagship as the company proceeds toward service entry in 2022.
The fifth G700 test aircraft took off and flew 3 hours and 8 minutes, reaching an altitude of 48,000 feet/14,630 meters and a top speed of Mach 0.935. This aircraft will focus largely on testing avionics.
“The G700 development program continues to go very well,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “Now we’ll be inducting the first airplane into completion very soon.” Be sure to read more about the G700™ flight-test aircraft here.
