The GVII-G600’s operating limitations include a maximum operating Mach number (MMO) of 0.925 Mach and a maximum operating altitude of 51,000 ft.
In addition to the certified maximum operating altitude, the G600’s initial cruise altitude is 41,000 ft. At the airframe’s long-range cruise speed of 0.85 Mach—as well as when carrying eight passengers, four crew and National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) instrument flight rules (IFR) reserves—the theoretical maximum range is 6,600 nm.
Other G600 performance figures include a high-speed cruise speed of 0.90 Mach and a takeoff distance—assuming sea-level altitude, standard conditions and the airframe's maximum takeoff weight (MTOW)—of 5,700 ft.
The Gulfstream G600 is a twin-engine business jet produced by Savannah, Georgia-based Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. A clean-sheet design that is the commercial designation of Gulfstream’s GVII-G600 type, the G600 is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW800-series engines. The first flight of a G600—which was performed by a flight-test airframe registered as N600G—took place on Dec. 17, 2016, a flight that originated from Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport. Subsequently, the GVII-G600 was certified by the FAA on June 28, 2019, ahead of the first delivery on Aug. 8, 2019.
Cruise at Mach 0.90 to travel faster with exceptional range, up to 6,650 nm/12,316 km.5 Beyond saving valuable time, fewer flight hours means longer periods between scheduled maintenance visits, higher potential aircraft value and fresher crews.
In the realm of private aviation, few names evoke as much admiration and prestige as the Gulfstream G600.
