Recently, Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. reported that the
Gulfstream G700 achieved the 2020 Global Yacht & Aviation Awards in the
aircraft’s all-new seat configuration. The 2018 Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream
G600 got the same prestigious award.
Gulfstream has delivered some of the most powerful — and
jaw-dropping — business jets in aviation history, and its latest aircraft is
here to outshine them all. The new G700, which was first introduced in October
2019, officially has the longest, widest and tallest cabin in the industry (at
nearly 57 ft, more than six ft tall and over eight ft wide) — the record was
previously held by the Bombardier Global 7500.
After its first flight earlier this year, it was confirmed
that the G700 is the most spacious business jet in the industry, and it has the
longest range at the fastest speeds. The G700’s two Rolls-Royce Pearl 700
engines power the aircraft to speeds of up to Mach 0.925, and all-new winglets
help reduce drag while in the air.
But it’s not just about how fast your trip is; you need to
get there in style, and Gulfstream isn’t one to skip the creature comforts. The
G700 aircraft has 20 panoramic oval windows and up to five living spaces.
Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, there is ample space to
entertain: An ultra-galley in front has 10 ft of counter space, plus a (very)
spacious refrigerator, conventional oven, ample storage for tableware and a
three-seat divan.
Other details that enhance the flying experience include
speakerless surround sound designed in collaboration with Bongiovi and
ultra-high-definition circadian lighting (goodbye, jet lag!) that can actually
emulate sunrise and sunset. The cherry on top, of course, is the master suite
with an en-suite lavatory that includes a private shower, vanity and spacious
storage closet for long-haul flights.
