The partnership aims to equip GIV, GV, G450, G500, G550, G600, G650 and G700 aircraft with high-speed, reliable connectivity for passengers and crew.
In 2022, Gulfstream announced the expansion of its wing production facility as well as an expansion of G600, G500 and G400 manufacturing to meet growing customer demand.
The delivery follows other recent accomplishments for the G500 and G600, including surpassing 100,000 flight hours each in June.
The G400 departed Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport at 9:04 a.m. and returned 2 hours, 54 minutes later, having reached a speed of Mach 0.85 and altitude of 41,000 feet/12,497 metres.
The G400, G500 and G600 have commonalities that increase manufacturing efficiencies. These mean that Gulfstream has the flexibility to easily expand production lines to meet the growing demand.
A manufacturing facility expansion will also augment ongoing growth at Gulfstream's wing production facility adjacent to the G400, G500 and G600 manufacturing building.
GKN is a long-standing supplier of empennages, fuselage panels, floorboards, rudders and wing skins for Gulfstream's long-range models, and this new agreement further extends that participation.
The power management system provides more configuration control through GE's tool suite and its pre-designed flexible architecture can significantly reduce integration risk across the aircraft life cycle.
The G800 is the longest range aircraft in Gulfstream history and will be powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, while the G400 aims for comfort and high speed, with PW812GA Pratt & Whitney engines.
