Gulfstream delivers 300th G650

Gulfstream Aerospace recently delivered the 300th aircraft in the G650 family. This milestone comes just over five years after it entered service in December 2012.

The G650 is the fastest large-cabin, non-supersonic aircraft to circumnavigate the globe, having flown westbound around the world in a record-setting 41 hours and 7 minutes, claiming 22 city-pair speed records along the way. In late 2017, the G650ER proved its performance capabilities with a worldwide record streak, setting five records in six days, including New York to Paris and Tokyo to New York. Together, the aircraft have set 70 city-pair records.
