The next time you’re squeezed into a middle seat in coach for 10 hours, comfort yourself with the knowledge that not everyone has to endure that same torture. Some fly, like this:
The all new G650 is the largest non-airliner business jet in the market with an array of the most sophisticated electronic systems for passengers and pilots alike. It’s the world’s fastest civil jet and is capable of traveling non stop for distances up to 13,000km.
Interesting note: The FAA standard for flight-critical structure and system reliability is 109, which equals one in a billion. Gulfstream's chief of programs and engineering, Pres Henne, has decreed that essential cabin systems will meet a 107—one in 10 million—reliability standard. What that means is that the toilet will always flush, water will always flow and drain, voice communication from the cabin to the ground will always be available and no single point failure can deprive the cabin of power. The goals will be met in the same way flight-critical standards are, by adding redundancy and isolating system components so individual failures do not cripple an entire system. It is a radical concept, until you consider the G650 can fly nonstop between most any civilized points on the globe, and its passengers must be properly cared for over those vast distances.
The jet will be delivered in 2012 at a cost of 60 million dollars each.

ReplyDeleteThe Private Jets can be landed in the small airports, not all but the small and mid sized jets.
ReplyDeleteGulfstream's g650 broke the world record for fastest Civil aircraft by beating Cessna's Citation X that previously held it. Gulfstream g650 reached the top speed of Mach 0.925 at 42,500 feet. In future the private jets would be even faster than the speed of sound, as is evident from the fact that recently Gulfstream has started tests on its supersonic project
