GULFSTREAM G800 Gulfstream’s G800 fi nally debuted in 2024 following lengthy certi fi cation delays, o ff ering state-of-the-art e ffi ciency from its twin Rolls-Royce Pearl engines. In range, it’s a direct match for its main competitor — Bombardier’s Global 8000 — with both jets o ff ering 8,000nm but is smaller in size. Its cabin length of 46 ft, 10 inches is signi fi cantly shorter than the Global 8000’s 54 ft, 6 inches. The cabin comes in modular, customizable, lifestyle-driven sections that allow the client to select the best mix for their needs, with up to four living areas. Up front, the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck keeps the control squarely in the pilots’ hands with a unique pair of active control sidesticks that give direct feedback, plus touchscreen fl ight displays and heads-up displays. With industry-leading city pairs marking its global tour, you can bet that the Mach 0.925 G800 will continue to bring its passengers to far- fl ungpoints on the globe in style — and allow them to speed to frequent destinations in, yes, record time, with greater e ffi ciency. In fact, its high-speed range whittleso ff up to 1.5 hours on fl ights stretching beyond 6,500 nm. gulfstream.com
