“The first flight of the G400 is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream Aerospace. “This aircraft is a game-changer in the large-cabin business jet segment, and we are excited to continue its development through our comprehensive flight test program.”
Key Features of the Gulfstream G400:
- Spacious cabin with seating for up to 19 passengers
- Range of 4,200 nautical miles, enabling non-stop flights between continents
- State-of-the-art avionics and flight control systems
