The G600 is Gulfstream’s answer to “how far can we fly in ridiculous comfort.” 6,500 nautical miles. New York to Dubai nonstop. That kind of range.
The Numbers
Mach 0.925 top speed. Four distinct cabin zones in 45 feet of interior. Cruises at 51,000 feet where you’re above the weather and the traffic.
Two Pratt & Whitney engines making about 15,680 pounds of thrust each. Fuel efficient for what it is.
The Cabin
This is where Gulfstream earns its money. Lower cabin altitude than competitors – 4,850 feet when cruising at 51,000. Less fatigue, more comfort.
Big windows. Like noticeably bigger than other jets in this class. Fresh air system, proper humidity control. You actually feel decent after a 12-hour flight.
Conference room, dining area, sleeping quarters – configurable however you want it.
The Cockpit
Symmetry Flight Deck with touchscreens everywhere. Active control sidesticks that give tactile feedback – both pilots feel what the other is doing. Head-up display with enhanced vision.
The tech is genuinely impressive. Makes long flights less fatiguing for crew too.
Who Buys This
About $60 million base price. Corporations, governments, ultra high net worth individuals. The kind of people for whom time literally equals millions.
Operating costs are significant but lower than you’d think for this range and capability. The efficiency matters when you’re flying 400+ hours annually.
