A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the ultra long range class.
GULFSTREAM
The Gulfstream G700 is the new flagship of the Gulfstream fleet — the largest, longest-range and most luxurious aircraft the company has ever built. Five distinct living zones, Mach 0.935 maximum cruise and 7,750 nm range place it at the absolute summit of private aviation.
