Gulfstream Aerospace on Friday
delivered the 100th G650 built, a milestone reached just one month shy of two
years after first delivery. “The production 
of the 100th G650 is a testament to the demand
for this aircraft,” said Gulfstream president Larry Flynn. “It truly set a new
world standard for performance, range, speed, safety and comfort when it entered
service in December 2012. The completion of the 100th aircraft also speaks
volumes about the skilled employees who build these airplanes.” The G650 was
unveiled in March 2008, rolled out in September 2009 and first flew on Nov. 25,
2009. It was certified by the
FAA in September 2012; EASA approval followed three months later. Now the
Mach 0.925, 7,000-nm wide-cabin jet is certified in 12 countries, and the G650
fleet has logged more than 33,500 flight hours. The type has claimed 42
city-pair speed records and secured an around-the-world speed record. Clarifying
the announcement that the company has delivered the 100th G650, a Gulfstream
spokeswoman told AIN today that this event does not mark 100 G650
deliveries, in that some of the aircraft between 85 and 100, while already
built, have not been delivered yet.
