Aero-TV: Gulfstream G650 -- NBAA 2011 Production Update

Gulfstream's Fly-by-Wire BizJet Gets Ready For Prime-Time

Just a few weeks ago, the power players at Gulfstream updated one and all on the final details leading up to eventual production of Gulfstream's most ambitious and capable bizjet, yet, the G650. Gulfstream officials noted that the aircraft has moved several steps closer to its anticipated certification later this year after completing tests of its fly-by-wire system, engine inlet compatibility and operation in hot weather, among other tests. At the time of this update, the four aircraft remaining in the flight-test program had accumulated more than 2,077 hours on more than 626 flights.
