The World’s Largest Business Jet Just Set Two Transatlantic Speed Records
Announcing an air-speed record from Savannah, Georgia, to Doha, Qatar, might sound trivial or even a little absurd. Until you consider the context: This was the world’s largest business jet flying 6,711 nautical miles nonstop at Mach 0.88, or 675 mph, for 13 hours and 16 minutes, on its first international flight. Then it becomes a corporate milestone. Gulfstream’s new G700 then set another city-pair record from Doha to Paris, flying 2,953 nautical miles at an average speed of Mach 0.90 (690.5… (www.yahoo.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The most likely have fuel a contract and pay some where in the $ 3.00 range.
I wouldn't call Doha to Paris a Trans-Atlantic speed record
The new G700 costs about the same as a 737BBJ. They have roughly the same flight range. Obviously the 737 is going to have a lot more passenger space than the G700. The G700 can take-off and land at a lot more runways, and is faster. So if you're going to be mostly flying to larger cities that have larger airports, the 737BBJ is viable alternative. I'll take full queen size bed and good sleep over saving a couple of hours flight time in .
There are weight restrictions at TEB that restrict aircraft over 100,000#'s operating weight landing rights, "without prior permission", and the BBJ is the reason for the fight. They may land below the restricted weight but they can't adhere to that weight limitation for takeoff and go anywhere.
I suspect the weight restriction will have little effect on the G700, as there are more G whizzes on the field at TEB than at SAV on any given day! I'm not sure the new breed of FAA enforcers could pick one out in a "First 48 Hours" lineup anyway. /s
Cheers.

Pretty sure a queen bed can fit in a G700.
I can’t wait til I get mine! (Anybody have any extra cash?)
