佛罗里达州奥兰多市, United States, Nov 16, 2012 - ( JCN Newswire ) - 湾流宇航公司同级最佳的全新G280飞机今年6月创下三项城市对飞行速度记录，分别是达拉斯至新泽西州泰特波罗、泰特波罗至佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔以及杰克逊维尔至达拉斯。湾流的这一全新超中型飞机自今年五月创下首个记录以来，至今已创下七项速度纪录。
湾流宇航总裁Larry Flynn表示：“这些新速度记录向我们的客户展示了G280的出色航程能力与性能。我们预计该机型在今后的几个月和几年里将创下越来越多的记录。”
G280仅用了2小时47分钟便从达拉斯爱田机场飞抵泰特波罗机场，平均速度达到493英里/小时。机上人员包括湾流国际演示高级机长Chip Leonard和Brett Rundle、资深国际乘务员Rhonda Eschete以及两位乘客。
此后，该机又继续由相同的机组人员驾驶，搭载一位乘客从泰特波罗飞往杰克逊维尔，耗时仅2小时7分钟，平均速度为438英里/小时。飞行团队最后从杰克逊维尔返回达拉斯，耗时2小时2分钟，平均速度达到446英里/小时。三次飞行的飞行高度均为43,000英尺。美国全国航空协会已确认这些记录，并已将其提交位于瑞士的国际航空联合会确认。
G280今年早些时候曾经创下四项城市到城市速度纪录：纽约州怀特普莱恩斯至达拉斯，2小时51分钟；达拉斯至华盛顿特区，2小时20分钟；华盛顿特区至日内瓦，7小时47分钟；以及巴黎至纽约州怀特普莱恩斯，7小时40分钟。
G280认证可以使用NBAA IFR燃油储备，搭载4名乘客，以0.80马赫的速度飞行3,600海里（6,667公里），比2008年项目启动时公司宣布的目标多出200海里左右。除了航程更大之外，飞机的平衡场长也从4,960英尺（1,512米）缩短至4,750英尺（1,448米）。与G280所取代的G200相比，这一场长缩短了1,300英尺以上。
