hen you are searching for an
unparalleled
flying
experience,
nothing beats the private jet. And
there is no better way to soar through the
atmosphere than the world’s largest private jet,
the Gulfstream G700. The jet was introduced by
Gulfstream Aerospace at the NBAA Business
Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE)
held last year in October 2019 in Los Angeles
Introducing World’s Largest
Business Jet– Gulfstream G700
The G700 has now joined the fleet with the older
models of business jets G500, G600, and G650
- a range of private business jets presented by
Gulfstream which is a subsidiary of General
Dynamics – a US based aerospace and defense
venture with a legacy of producing top business
jets.
The
celebrated
aerospace
manufacturer
claims to have conducted vigorous lab testing
of its newest jet spanning over more than
14,000 hours which includes evaluation of the
jet’s structure, engine runs, ground vibration
evaluation, and calibration of loads. The G700
got a warm reception at the exhibition as
Qatar Airways charter service known as Qatar
Executive signed a deal with Gulfstream for ten
jets. Apart from that, Flexjet will also include
the Gulfstream G700 to its exceptional fleet of
private business jets. It is expected to arrive in
2022
Design from the Future
The Gulfstream G700 fundamentally integrates
the best characteristics and features of other
jets in the range including G500, G600, and G650.
It comes with a low wing monoplane structure
along with a dual engine. Fuselage features
swept wings carrying winglets on the tips.
According to Gulfstream President Mark Burns.

The Gulfstream G700 takes the very best elements
from our most innovative products and unites them
with cutting-edge advances to create an all-new,
advanced-technology aircraft that redefines safety,
comfort, and range at speed
In order to manage and control the landing
and takeoff performance, safety features, and
the twin jet engine, G700 employs the use of
advanced avionics. The jet has a height of 7.75
meters, measures 33.5 meters in length and has
a wingspan of 31.4 meters. The optimal take-off
load clocks in at close to 49,000 kg while there is
more than a decent payload capacity of almost
2,900 kg.

The Largest Jet Cabin for Exquisite Lifestyle
The G700 comes with the longest, tallest and
widest cabin in the industry measuring at 2.5
meters in width, 1.9 meters in height and 19.4
meters in length. This longest cabin in its class
offers five different living zones which are
configurable to your personal preferences. You
can turn them into a master suite, dining room,
conference room, lounge or a crew compartment
as per your desire or requirements. Since the jet
is designed by taking luxurious lifestyle and
spaciousness into major consideration, the
cabin altitude is the lowest in jet’s class.
The largest business jet can easily carry 19
passengers onboard while there is enough space
in the living areas for 10 passengers to take a
nap. The cabin is also a perfect place to dine
or conduct meetings. The jet utilizes circadian
lighting system which integrates amber and
white LEDs to create the right ambiance and
limit the effects of jet-lag. The windows are
large and let ample amount of natural light into
the jet. There’s also a baggage compartment
which can store a bit over 5.5 cubic meters in
volumetric terms. The cabin also boasts the Jet
Connex Ka-band Wi-Fi which comes with built-
in artificial intelligence..
Reduce Flying Time with Stellar Performance
Gulfstream has equipped its largest business jet
with dual Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines which
have the capability to produce a thrust that goes
as high as 18,250lbf each. The engine is 5% fuel
efficient and capable enough to provide 12%
improved thrust to weight ratio. The Rolls Royce
Pearl 700 engines have been especially designed
and engineered for this particular jet and include
an ultra slim-line nacelle and a highly efficient
4-stage low pressure turbine (LPT).
The jet has the maximum operational range
of close to 14,000 kilometers while it can
reach the highest altitude of just a little over
15,500 meters. Gulfstream G700 can fly at a
cruise speed of Mach 0.9 allowing you to reach
everywhere on time. The maximum speed the
jet can hit is Mach 0.925. Apart from saving
