Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. will present its G700 and G500 business aircraft at the Bahrain International Airshow, scheduled for November 13–15. The company is showcasing the two models as part of its participation in the regional event.
The G700, which began service in April, has obtained type certifications from aviation authorities in nine countries, in addition to approvals from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. The aircraft is powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and is capable of flying 7,750 nautical miles (14,353 kilometers) at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nautical miles (12,316 kilometers) at Mach 0.90. It has a top speed of Mach 0.935. The cabin can be configured to include up to five living areas, with seating for up to 19 passengers and sleeping arrangements for up to 13.
The G500, in service since September 2018, was the first aircraft to feature the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck. This system includes active control sidesticks, extensive touchscreen interfaces, and Phase-of-Flight intelligence. The aircraft can travel 5,300 nautical miles (9,816 kilometers) at Mach 0.85 or 4,500 nautical miles (8,334 kilometers) at Mach 0.90, with a maximum speed of Mach 0.925.
Both aircraft include the Gulfstream Cabin Experience, which features 100% fresh air, reduced noise levels, natural lighting, and a low cabin altitude.
Gulfstream will be located at Stand A39 during the airshow, where attendees can view the G700 and G500 and speak with company representatives.
