Business jets have come a long way since the Coast Guard ended a 30-year experiment with mid-sized jet-powered patrol aircraft. It may be time for another look.
Gulfstream has recently added a new business jet to its ultramodern fleet: the G800. Set to eventually replace the company's G650ER, the new plane is currently the longest-range aircraft in Gulfstream's history.
Earlier this week Gulfstream, one of the biggest players in the market of business jet aircraft, announced the introduction of two new planes to its fleet, the G400 and G800. The latter is described as one capable of flying farther and faster than any aircraft ever produced by the company, and it’s all owed to engines Rolls-Royce is specifically developing for this plane.
