Yeah, pretty wild.

Once it's official it will be the fastest civil transport in service beating out the Citation X by a small margin. MMO on the G650 is .925

Coolest thing is that long-range cruise is .85, 7000nm range at this speed! And a 5000nm range at .90! This is what they're saying anyway, we'll see what the real numbers are, but this is Gulfstream we're talking about so I'm sure they'll be pretty close.

Not to mention HUGE windows and a 2600ft. cabin altitude at FL410, 4800ft. cabin at FL510! That's a huge advantage.

Says on the website it can take 8 people plus a crew of 4 to 7000 miles.

The Synthetic Vision-Primary flight display, EVS II, and HUD II are taking technology and situational awareness to the next level.

As long as I'm flying it (or it's flying itself rather).

They seemed to get there numbers dead on even beating a few with the G550, I wouldn't expect less.

I was amazed to see 7,000nm at .85 to, thats just crazy. Looks like the 7x has got some more competition.
