G650ER From Gulfstream On Static Display At Airshow China General Dynamics company Gulfstream announced that it is having a Gulfstream G650ER on static display at the ongoing Airshow China, November 6th - 11th. It is the first time at this show for the long-range business jet. The company also has a modified version of the G550 specially outfitted for medevac and airlift missions. The G650ER offers 7,500 nautical miles/13,890 kilometers of range, up to four living areas and advanced flight-deck technology. The aircraft recently demonstrated its performance capabilities with a record-breaking flight over a polar route, connecting White Plains, New York, with Shanghai. Flown at an average speed of Mach 0.86, the 6,870-nm/12,723-km flight took just 13 hours and 40 minutes. Today, the G650 family has earned more than 75 speed records.
"Gulfstream aircraft serve specific and strategic missions — from commanding global trade to aiding in rescue and life-saving operations," said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. "Demonstrating its demanding capability, the impressive Beijing Red Cross Emergency Medical Center aircraft recently conducted two very complex rescue missions involving varied weather conditions and mountainous terrain, with operations out of one of the world’s highest altitude airports, Lhasa Gonggar Airport in China. As evidenced by these recent missions, Gulfstream aircraft are designed and equipped to serve the needs of our customers — in even the most challenging circumstances."
