Aircraft program
Family of ultra long-range, twin turbofan business jets.
Oval shaped fuselage is constructed from metal alloy with novel bonded skin panels. Horizontal tailplane, winglets, pressure bulkhead, cabin floors and engine cowlings are manufactured from composite materials. Aerodynamic wings are swept back, with twin turbofan Rolls-Royce BR725 engines mounted in rear pods and fly-by-wire aircraft controls.
2 pilots face a PlaneView II flight deck featuring an enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) with 4 LCD displays and 2 multifunction controllers.
With a maximum operating speed of M0.925, the G650 holds over 120 world speed records.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Notable technologies — each tag names a technology on our research record for this aircraft, with its fitting status: Primary, Standard, Option or Planned.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
