佛罗里达州奥兰多市, United States, Nov 16, 2012 - ( JCN Newswire ) - 湾流宇航公司今天宣布，其超远程超大客舱G650飞机能够提供比最初宣布的更好性能。这一改进将提升飞机的高速航程和起飞距离，从而为运营人执行超远程任务提供更大的灵活性。
湾流宇航总裁Larry Flynn表示：“G650性能的提高使得这一本已是同级最好的飞机变得更好。凭借这些改进，运营人将获得显著的优势：他们将飞得更远、更快，需要跑道也更短。如果把公务喷气机比作时间机器，那么G650则将是商务旅行的最佳选择。”
G650以0.90马赫高速巡航的航程现在可以达到6,000海里（11,112公里），比最初5,000海里（9,260公里）的目标增加了1,000海里（1,852公里）。这使其能够以超越其他任何公务喷气机的速度完成诸如东京到纽约、纽约到迪拜、上海到伦敦以及莫斯科到洛杉矶等城市对之间的飞行。
G650能够以不到12小时的时间完成距离6,000海里的飞行任务。
湾流项目、工程与试飞高级副总裁Pres Henne表示：“G650以0.90马赫飞行6,000海里所需的飞行时间比使用G550完成相同任务要少40分钟。在分秒必争的情况下，40分钟可谓意义重大。”
在99,600磅（45,179公斤）的最大起飞重量条件下，G650的起飞平衡场长从原来的6,000英尺（1,829米）缩短到了现在的5,858英尺（1,786米）。这一改进使G650在使用要求更高的短跑道起飞时能够飞得更远。
G650的最大巡航速度达到0.925马赫，是已通过认证的民用飞机中速度最快的。该机配备两台罗罗BR725 A1-12发动机，单台推力16,900磅，而与同级其他飞机相比，其油耗却更低，产生的排放也更少。
G650于2012年9月7日获得美国联邦航空局的型号认证。预计该机将于今年年底之前开始交付。
