Gulfstream G650

This ultra-long-range aircraft became the first successful “next-gen” business jet and the first Gulfstream to use fly-by-wire instead of traditional flight controls. Designed from scratch, the G650 has a new fuselage resulting in a taller and wider cabin. When first deliveries started, it became apparent that the manufacturer achieved its highly ambitious goal of bringing to market the new leader among traditional business jets: best flight range and speed, biggest cabin, cutting-edge technology. Even the windows are the biggest ever on a plane while cabin pressure at altitude is best in class. It’s worth mentioning that despite a certain trend toward using composite materials, the G650 is of metal construction with limited use of composites.
