Gulfstream G650

The Gulfstream G650 is a large long-range business jet built by Gulfstream Aerospace in the United States, designated Gulfstream GVI in its type certificate. It carries 11 to 18 passengers over a range of about 7,000 nautical miles at a top speed of Mach 0.925, using two Rolls-Royce BR725 turbofans mounted on the rear fuselage. Gulfstream launched the programme as an internal project in May 2005 and unveiled the aircraft publicly on 13 March 2008; it made its maiden flight on 25 November 2009, received FAA type certification on 7 September 2012 and made its first delivery that December. The G650ER is an extended-range version, and the same airframe line led to the longer G700 and the G800. The final G650 was completed in February 2025, and the aircraft won the 2014 Collier Trophy.
