 | GULFSTREAM G450 SETS SPEED RECORD BETWEEN CHICAGO AND LONDON |
 Just a week after entering service, a new large-cabin, long-range Gulfstream G450 business jet established a new intercontinental city-pair speed record, flying 3,550 nautical miles from Chicago to London in just 7 hours and 19 minutes at an average speed of Mach .85. There were zero en route winds and the aircraft landed with 3,500 lb of fuel remaining.
The G450 set its first speed record on its way to Geneva, Switzerland,
where it is being displayed at the annual European Business Aviation
Convention and Exhibition (EBACE). Gulfstream Aerospace, a wholly owned
subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), displayed an experimental
G450 in Europe at EBACE last year. Since then, the G450 has received
both Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type certification and
European Aviation Safety Agency validation and officially entered
service earlier this month.
The G450 took off from DuPage Airport, just 30 miles west of Chicago,
at 6:31 p.m. (local) on May 15 and flew 3,500 nautical miles at an
average cruise speed of Mach .85, landing at London-Luton Airport at
7:50 a.m. (local) the next morning. Piloting the G450 was Bill Watters,
Gulfstream’s chief pilot for G550/G450 demonstration, while
David Smith, G550/G450 demonstration captain, served as copilot. In
addition to flight attendant Kitty Ramage, four passengers were onboard
the flight.
