Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced that the brand-new Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines for its ultralong-range Gulfstream G800 and industry-leading Gulfstream G700 have received European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification.

The G700 has the largest cabin in its class and can travel at Mach 0.90 for 6,400 nautical miles (11,853 kilometers) or Mach 0.85 for 7,500 nm (13,890 kilometers) during its high-speed and long-range cruises, respectively. The G800 has the longest range in the business aviation sector, with a 7,000 nautical mile (12,964 km) range at Mach 0.90 and an 8,000 nautical mile (14,816 km) range at Mach 0.85.

Both the G700 and G800 are equipped with Gulf stream’s award-winning Predictive Landing Performance System and the industry’s only electronically linked active control sidesticks. They also feature the most extensive use of touch-screen technology in business aviation.

The Gulfstream G700 and G800 include a brand-new winglet created specifically for the two new aircraft, as well as the high-speed, aerodynamic Gulfstream wing design first seen on the Gulfstream G650 and G650ER. Together, these innovations reduce emissions and fuel use.

Customers of the G700 and G800 benefit from the Gulfstream Cabin Experience, which has the industry’s lowest cabin altitude, whisper-quiet noise levels, signature Gulfstream panoramic oval windows, as well as the brand-new ultrahigh-definition circadian lighting system, debuted on the G700.
