GULFSTREAM UPDATE ON G500 AND G600

Gulfstream Aerospace announced that Gulfstream G500 and G600 test programmes continue to stride towards anticipated FAA certification in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The four G500 test aircraft have exceeded 1,000 hours of test time and production of the G600 test articles is well underway. “The G500 made its first flight nearly one year ago and we have spent 12 months since then expanding the test fleet and reaching the goals we established early on,” said Mark Burns, President, Gulfstream. “At the same time, we have made significant progress in manufacturing the five G600 test articles. Thanks to the extensive ground work in Gulfstream’s state-of-the-art test labs, these aircraft programmes are maturing at a consistent pace.”
