The Gulfstream G650 is an ultra long range, high speed business jet that is arguably the new gold standard in private-aviation. As the new flagship of the Gulfstream fleet, it flies faster and farther than any other traditional private jet.
Introduced in 2008, the G650 will carry eight passengers (but can be configured to accommodate up to 18) and a crew of four on nonstop legs of 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km). Want to charter a private jet to Saudi Arabia from New York? Or from London to Buenos Aires? This aircraft will make the trip that much more pleasant and efficient. With its powerful Rolls-Royce BR725 engines, the G650 will cover shorter distances at a speed of Mach 0.925, beating the Citation X (Mach 9.13) as the fastest business jet available for charter.
In addition to speed and distance, the G650 is the most technologically advanced business aircraft in the sky. The G650 comes standard with many advanced safety features such as Enhanced Vision System (EVS) II, the Head-Up Display (HUD) II and the Synthetic Vision-Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD).
This aircraft will certainly revolutionize the private jet charter industry when it debuts in 2016. With a price tag of $64.5 million, and 200 units already booked, great things are in store for private jet flyers and enthusiasts all over the world. QJMCHD7BH7W9
