Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, today announced the all-new, super-midsize Gulfstream G300 as the latest aircraft to join its next-generation fleet.
The aircraft will replace the Gulfstream G280 and feature signature Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows as well as an all-new Harmony Flight Deck, which includes next-generation avionics to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
Gulfstream announced the G300 at its exclusive Discover the Difference customer event in Savannah. During the event, Gulfstream President Mark Burns revealed a full-scale mock-up of the G300 and showed photos of the first aircraft in production.
Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream, said: “Fueled by a decade of investment and our future-forward approach, the Gulfstream next-generation fleet offers our customers the most innovative family of aircraft.
“We know how important the super-midsize cabin segment is to our customers, so building on the highly successful G280 program, the G300 will reenergize the category with its heightened technology and safety enhancements, alongside the legendary comfort and styling of a Gulfstream.”
The G300 combines trans-Atlantic range with short-field agility, covering 3,600 nautical miles/6,667 kilometres at Mach 0.80 or 3,000 nm/5,556 km at Mach 0.84.
The aircraft features a maximum cruise altitude of 45,000 feet/13,716 meters and the lowest cabin altitude in its class at 4,800 ft/1,463 m when flying at 41,000 ft/12,497 m.
This comes alongside 100% fresh air, a plasma ionisation air purification system and 10 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows.
With the longest cabin in its class and two living areas, the G300 accommodates up to 10 passengers.
Burns added: “The G300 program is making great progress and the vision for this aircraft is well on its way to becoming a reality for our customers as they look for an airplane that will exceed their expectations in the super-midsize class”.
