Gulfstream G700 Sets Mach 0.91 City-Pair Speed Records En Route to Paris Air Show

Ultra‑long‑range flagship flies Teterboro→San Francisco→Paris at record-breaking speeds, powered by 100 % SAF and spotlighted at Le Bourget

New City‑Pair Records

In preparation for the 2025 Paris AirShow, Gulfstream’s G700 demonstrator established two new city‑pair speed records:

• Teterboro → San Francisco     (2,272 nm) in just 4 hours 57 minutes, averaging Mach 0.91.
• San Francisco → Paris (4,947 nm) in 9 hours 26 minute, also at Mach 0.91.

Powered by Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Both record-setting legs were flown entirely on 100 % sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Gulfstream is pursuing Sustainable Wings accreditation from the National Aeronautic Association to recognize this commitment to eco-friendly operations.

Cutting-Edge Performance Specs

Equipped with Rolls‑Royce Pearl 700 engines and optimized aerodynamics (including advanced winglets), the G700 delivers:

• Maximum operating speed: Mach 0.935
• High-speed cruise capability: Mach 0.90
• Over 80 city‑pair speed records achieved since entry into service

Highlight at Paris Air Show

Landing at Le Bourget with these accomplishments under its belt, the G700 is a standout presence in both flight demonstrations and static display. It will be further showcased alongside Gulfstream’s G600 from June 16–19, offering attendees a close look at its speed, range, and new sustainability credentials.

What It Means for Buyers

These milestone flights reinforce the G700’s status as an elite ultra‑long‑range business jet, combining unmatched speed, globetrotting range, eco‑forward fuel use, and luxury comfort. This makes it a top-tier choice for global executives, government leaders, and high-end charter operators.
