Gulfstream announced yesterday that they would develop the G300 midsize corporate jet to replace the G280 at the bottom end of the product range.
Powered by twin 7600 lbf thrust Honeywell HFT7250G engines, the G300 is a 10-seater expected to have a max range of 3600 nm and a long-range cruise speed of 0.80 Mach.
"Fueled by a decade of investment and our future-forward approach, the Gulfstream next-generation fleet offers our customers the most innovative family of aircraft,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns.
“We know how important the super-midsize cabin segment is to our customers, so building on the highly successful G280 program, the G300 will reenergize the category with its heightened technology and safety enhancements, alongside the legendary comfort and styling of a Gulfstream.”
The G300 Harmony Flight Deck includes six touch-screen displays paired with Phase-of-Flight intelligence, a Synthetic Vision Primary Flight Display that depicts runways and terrain in 3D imagery and Gulfstream’s Predictive Landing Performance System, which dynamically displays the runway stopping point in real time.
“The G300 program is making great progress and the vision for this aircraft is well on its way to becoming a reality for our customers as they look for an airplane that will exceed their expectations in the super-midsize class,” Burns added.
Once the G300 enters service, it will round out the Gulfstream range of six corporate jets, which covers a broad spectrum of capability from the entry level G300 right up to the 19-seat, long-range G800 flagship.
