Shortly after Bombardier introduced its new business jet, the Challenger 3500, North American Gulfstream introduced two new business jets. The announcement was made on Monday night 4. Additionally, the presentation comes after the Gulfstream G650 executive jet lost its longest-range record-holder rank to the Bombardier Global 7500.
The Gulfstream G800 will have a range of 14816 kilometers, compared to 14260 for the Bombardier. In addition, Gulftream promises a comfortable 7-bed seat flight from São Paulo to New Delhi, India, non-stop and in less than 14 hours. Another positive point of the plane is its air circulation, in which the air is constantly exchanged with the environment, making the plane airier.
The G800 has a capacity of up to 19 passengers and is equipped with Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, which will carry the plane to a maximum of Mach 0.90. The first deliveries of the plane are scheduled for 2023.
Another jet presented was the G400. With 7700 km of autonomy, the jet will have the largest cabin in its category and capacity for up to 12 passengers. The engines used are Pratt
