Gulfstream Aerospace has delivered the 50th G600, with the milestone aircraft going to an undisclosed North American customer. The large-cabin twinjet, which is a longer-range sibling of the G500, entered service in August 2019.

“With every new customer delivery, operators around the world are experiencing the benefits of the G600,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “The G600 dominates the sweet spot of range, speed, cabin comfort, and fuel efficiency, and market enthusiasm is exceeding even our own high expectations.”

According to Gulfstream, the G600’s Pratt & Whitney PW816GA engines and aerodynamics have resulted in improved environmental credentials, with nitrogen oxide emissions 27 percent lower than ICAO requirements. Emissions for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and smoke are also more than 75 lower than international requirements. In addition, the G600 is significantly quieter than the latest Stage 5 noise limits, Gulfstream said.

The G600, which can fly 6,600 nm at Mach 0.85 and 5,600 nm at Mach 0.90, has to date set more than 20 city-pair speed records around the world. Besides FAA and EASA approvals, the G600 has earned certifications from aviation authorities in the UK, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Mexico, San Marino, and Turkey.
