Perhaps it was a foregone conclusion that Gulfstream would fill in the blanks numerically in its lineup, from the large-cabin, midsize G280 to the nearly certificated ultralong-range G700. Flying was invited to a sneak preview of the new models in September at Gulfstream’s headquarters in Savannah, Georgia.
The G400
The first of the two jets added to the roll-up, the G400, takes position between the G280 and the G500 and G600. “It’s a sweet spot in the customer base,” Gulfstream’s president Mark Burns said, with strong demand for an aircraft with a large, stand-up cabin that can cover 4,000 nm and cost about $35 million. In fact, the G400 is projected to range up to 4,200 nm at Mach 0.85 and 3,950 nm at Mach 0.88.
