Gulfstream G700
The Gulfstream G700 is the biggest long-range jet boasting the most spacious cabin in the private jet industry: 1.91 metres high, 2.49 metres wide and 17.35 metres long, excluding the in-flight accessible baggage compartment.
The jet’s new Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines allow it to travel an ocean-crossing range of up to 13,890 kilometres and reach a maximum speed of 956 kilometres per hour. Speed and range both depend on the number of occupants, the weather, the chosen configuration, and other factors. Indeed, the cabin can be configured to best suit travellers’ needs with up to five different areas. It has a long galley, a separate rest area for the crew, lounges, a conference space ideal for six passengers to meet or dine, and a master suite with a shower room.
Designed around the client’s wellbeing, the cabin is not only a quiet and enjoyable environment, but also features an extremely advanced circadian lighting system able to simulate the sunlight patterns of the time zone the plane is flying to and thereby reduce jet lag. The cabin welcomes up to 19 passengers who can enjoy panoramic views from the aircraft’s 20 large oval windows, relax on ultra-comfortable berthable seats and easily select entertainment options and more thanks to tactile cabin controls.

FAQ
Does the G700 have more range than the Gulfstream G550?
Yes, the G700 substantially outperforms the G550 in range capability. The G700 offers 14,353 km (7,750 nautical miles) compared to the G550's approximately 12,501 km (6,750 nautical miles)—a difference of over 1,852 km. This significant range advantage means the G700 can complete ultra-long-range routes that would require a fuel stop in the G550, such as flying non-stop from New York to Sri Lanka. The G700's superior range, combined with its faster maximum speed of Mach 0.935 versus the G550's Mach 0.885, positions it in a completely different category for intercontinental travel capabilities.
How many passengers can the G700 accommodate, and what are the cabin's key dimensions?
The G700 can accommodate up to 19 passengers in its spacious cabin, which measures 17.35 metres (56.8 feet) in length, 2.49 metres (8.2 feet) in width, and 1.91 metres (6.3 feet) in height. The cabin can be configured into up to five separate living areas, providing flexibility for various activities such as conferences, dining, relaxation, and sleeping. With sleeping arrangements for up to 13 passengers and 20 signature Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows, the cabin offers both functionality and comfort for extended flights.
What is the maximum speed of the G700, and how does this performance benefit intercontinental travel?
The G700 achieves a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935 (993 km/h or 536 knots), making it the fastest aircraft in the Gulfstream fleet. This exceptional speed, combined with its typical cruise speed of Mach 0.85-0.90 (904-957 km/h or 488-516 knots), dramatically reduces flight times on intercontinental routes. The G700's speed advantage means fewer flight hours between scheduled maintenance visits, higher potential aircraft value retention, and fresher crews upon arrival—particularly beneficial for demanding business schedules.
What is the G700's maximum range, and which city pairs can it connect non-stop?
The G700 delivers an impressive NBAA IFR range of up to 14,353 km (7,750 nautical miles) at Mach 0.85, or 12,316 km (6,650 nautical miles) at the higher cruise speed of Mach 0.90. This exceptional range enables non-stop flights on demanding routes such as New York to Hong Kong, London to Sydney, or Los Angeles to Dubai, eliminating the need for fuel stops and significantly reducing total journey time for ultra-long-range missions.
What makes the G700's cabin altitude system distinctive for passenger comfort?
The G700 features the industry's lowest cabin altitude at just 889 metres (2,916 feet) when cruising at 12,497 metres (41,000 feet). This remarkably low cabin altitude, combined with 100% fresh air circulation, significantly reduces passenger fatigue and jet lag on long-haul flights. The cabin also incorporates circadian lighting technology that adjusts throughout the flight to help passengers maintain their natural sleep cycles, making the G700 particularly well-suited for transcontinental travel where time zone adjustments are crucial.Reintentar
