Gulfstream Aerospace G600

Twin Jet

The Gulfstream G600 represents the pinnacle of ultra-long-range business aviation, certified in 2018 as the first clean-sheet Gulfstream design in over a decade. What sets the G600 apart is its Mach 0.925 maximum operating speed (the highest of any purpose-built business jet in production), enabling it to fly faster and higher than competing aircraft from Bombardier and Dassault. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines, the G600 can cruise at Mach 0.90 and reach a maximum altitude of 51,000 feet, well above commercial traffic and adverse weather. The aircraft's 6,500-nautical-mile range allows nonstop flights from Los Angeles to London or New York to Beijing, while its Symmetry Flight Deck features active control sidesticks and the most advanced avionics suite Gulfstream has ever installed. The cabin stretches 45 feet with seating for up to 19 passengers, featuring Gulfstream's signature panoramic oval windows (the largest in business aviation) and a cabin altitude of just 3,800 feet at FL510, reducing passenger fatigue on intercontinental flights. The G600 shares its fuselage cross-section and wing design with its larger sibling, the G650ER, but offers a more accessible price point while retaining nearly identical performance characteristics. Since entering service, the G600 has become a favorite among corporate flight departments and high-net-worth individuals seeking maximum speed and range without stepping up to the flagship G700. Its combination of Mach 0.925 capability, 51,000-foot ceiling, and transcontinental range makes it one of the most capable business jets ever built.
