Gulfstream 650!?

April 17, 2008 · Filed Under Aviation Related 

We all knew it was coming. It has been inevitable, but the statistics on this bird will make your head spin!

Since 1996 the Cessna Citation X has been the fastest civilian aircraft in the world. The top speed was a mind blowing .92 Mach (703mph). With long swept back wings this is one sleek looking airplane. The Citation X is powered by two Rolls-Royce 3007C1 engines, each with a thrust of 6700ft lbs! In testing, rumors have it that it briefly exceeded the sound of speed!

The Gulfstream 650 is larger, faster, flies further and in one man’s opinion…. better looking.

The G650 will exceed .92 and max out at .925 Mach. The power behind this beast are two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines, each with a thrust of 16,000ft lbs! The ceiling on both the Citation and Gulfstream is 51,000ft. The distance this airplane can fly is 7,000NM, meaning it can fly from Chicago, IL to Tokyo or Chicago to Dubai non-stop on a full tank of clean fuel from AeroPremier!

In conclusion, the G650 is “AWESOME!” The price one will pay to reap the benefits is $59 million U.S. dollars.

The new york flights are the best example of u.s airline facilities, and so are the orlando flights. The flights to london have great facilities too but they cannot be considered as cheap flights.
