Gulfstream G600 — large-cabin long-range business jet
The G600 first flew in 2016 and entered service in 2019. It features a clean-sheet wing design and a spacious cabin with panoramic oval windows. The cockpit incorporates the Symmetry Flight Deck with active control sidesticks.
Powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 turbofan engines producing approximately 15,144 pounds of thrust (67.4 kN) each, the G600 cruises at up to Mach 0.925, approximately 530 knots (982 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 94,000 pounds (42,640 kg). Range exceeds 6,600 nautical miles (12,220 km).
The G600 offers high-speed cruise and long-range capability for intercontinental missions. Its avionics emphasize automation and pilot situational awareness. The aircraft remains a key offering in Gulfstream’s large-cabin portfolio.
