灣流宣布世界速度最快的認證公務機的最新性能參數

 
佛羅里達州奧蘭多市, United States, Nov 16, 2012   -  ( JCN Newswire )   -   灣流宇航公司今天宣布,其超遠程超大客艙G650飛機能夠提供比最初宣布的更好性能。這一改進將提升飛機的高速航程和起飛距離,從而為運營人執行超遠程任務提供更大的靈活性。

灣流宇航總裁Larry Flynn表示:“G650性能的提高使得這一本已是同級最好的飛機變得更好。憑藉這些改進,運營人將獲得顯著的優勢:他們將飛得更遠、更快,需要跑道也更短。如果把公務噴氣機比作時間機器,那麼G650則將是商務旅行的最佳選擇。”

G650以0.90馬赫高速巡航的航程現在可以達到6,000海裡(11,112公里),比最初5,000海裡(9,260公里)的目標增加了1,000海裡(1,852公里)。這使其能夠以超越其他任何公務噴氣機的速度完成諸如東京到紐約、紐約到迪拜、上海到倫敦以及莫斯科到洛杉磯等城市對之間的飛行。

G650能夠以不到12小時的時間完成距離6,000海裡的飛行任務。

灣流項目、工程與試飛高級副總裁Pres Henne表示:“G650以0.90馬赫飛行6,000海裡所需的飛行時間比使用G550完成相同任務要少40分鐘。在分秒必爭的情況下,40分鐘可謂意義重大。”

在99,600磅(45,179公斤)的最大起飛重量條件下,G650的起飛平衡場長從原來的6,000英尺(1,829米)縮短到了現在的5,858英尺(1,786米)。這一改進使G650在使用要求更高的短跑道起飛時能夠飛得更遠。

G650的最大巡航速度達到0.925馬赫,是已通過認證的民用飛機中速度最快的。該機配備兩台羅羅BR725 A1-12發動機,單台推力16,900磅,而與同級其他飛機相比,其油耗卻更低,產生的排放也更少。

G650於2012年9月7日獲得美國聯邦航空局的型號認證。預計該機將於今年年底之前開始交付。
