The impressive range allows passengers to fly almost anywhere in the world without taking a single stop. If the jet were to take off from London it could fly to any airport across the globe - with the exception of Sydney. And not only can the jet breeze long distance flights it's spectacular speed means travellers can reach their destinations in record time. The private jet has a top speed of 570 knots - just shy of the world's fastest Bombardier Global 8000's velocity. And it's no surprise it goes so quickly as its powered by Rolls Royce engines and features an aerodynamic wing design. The Gulfstream G800 has three luxurious living areas as well as a dedicated crew compartment for maximum in-flight comfort. It can seat up to 19 passengers and sleep ten. Pictures from inside the plane show a carpeted interior fitted with plush leather seats. And the cabin's sixteen enormous panoramic oval windows mean that travellers can enjoy the incredible views while they zoom through the sky. Hypersonic jet could whisk passengers from London to NYC in an hour The cabin also boasts high-speed WiFi coverage while in the air. And what's more - passengers will feel less tired after flying on G800 compared to others on the market due to its low altitude cabin. While the plane soars 41,000 feet above the ground the cabin will feel as though it is only at 2,840ft. Plans for the world's biggest plane have been unveiled, with the jumbo jet set to take to the skies in 2030. Officially called WindRunner, the colossal aircraft will be able to carry 12-times more than a Boeing 747 - and has one very specific purpose. WindRunner will clock in at an incredible 356ft - longer than the pitch at Wembley - and will be 79ft tall. The company behind it, Radia, has already been working on the plans for almost a decade. While it will be a versatile vehicle, the size and shape of WindRunner have been carefully designed to accommodate one specific item: wind turbines. Wind turbine blades are enormous and incredibly tricky to transport on roads, and normal planes are too small to handle them. Some turbine projects have even needed special roads to be laid to get the blades there. And the blades are expected to get even bigger in the future - possibly growing from 230ft to 330ft. So, with the help of rocket scientist CEO Mark Lundstrom, the Radia team looked for a solution. WindRunner will be able to carry whole blades in its cargo space, and fly them right to the construction site. 6

This New Gulfstream Has the Longest Range of Any Business Jet
The aircraft that billed itself as having the world's longest range can fly even farther. The Gulfstream G800, which made its first transatlantic flight in June 2022, has underwent a testing program with three test aircraft for the last three years. It received type certification yesterday from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and EASA, the European Union counterpart. Originally, Gulfstream said the G800 would have a range of 8,000 nautical miles, but the company has upped that to 8,200. That extra mileage matters to aircraft owners willing to pay between $70 million and $100 million (or much more with options) for the new breed of ultra-long-range aircraft, including Gulfstream's G700, Bombardier's Global 7500 and new Global 8000, and Dassault Falcon's 6X and upcoming 10X, expected to be certified in 2027. More from Robb Report Bombardier's New Plane Is the Fastest Civilian Jet Since the Concorde Michael Jordan and Cristiano Ronaldo Both Fly Gulfstream Jets With Custom Liveries 6 Ways Technology Will Transform Your Private-Jet Experience in the Next Decade The new G800, scheduled to be delivered to its first launch customer soon, is smaller than its G700 sibling by about 10 feet; it's for owners who may not need the extra space, but want the added range. The 8,200-nautical-mile range happens at a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85. It can travel 7,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.90. At Mach 0.87, its range is 8,000 nautical miles. Beyond the extra range, the G800's maximum speed was also upped to Mach 0.935 from Mach 0.925. Its takeoff and landing distances—critical for aircraft that want to land on short-field airports—also improved to 5,812 feet and 3,105 feet, respectively. 'With the certification of the G800, Gulfstream has again exceeded expectations thanks to the expertise and rigor of our flight test, certification, and manufacturing teams,' said Mark Burns, Gulfstream's president, in a statement. The G800's numbers include the industry's lowest cabin altitude of 2,840 feet when flying at 41,000 feet and 100 percent fresh air, thanks to a plasma ionization air-purification. The interior can be configured with four living areas or three living areas and a dedicated crew compartment. Gulfstream is halting production of the G650 in June when deliveries of the G800 begin. In January the company said it expects to deliver about 150 aircraft this year.
