- According to the online journal "business insider.com" (November 2nd, 2022), Billionaire Elon Musk has placed an order for this particular Gulfstream G700. The report did not state if or when Musk has yet purchased the jet.
The G700 is the "stretched" version of the G650, and aims to rival the Bombardier 7500 in size. It measures 109 feet and 10 inches in length, and 25 feet and five inches in height, according to Gulfstream. The G700 has a range of 7,500 nautical miles, which means the jet can fly from Singapore to San Francisco non-stop. The G700 has a cruising speed of Mach 0.925 - just under the speed of sound - per the same Gulfstream spec sheet above.
Whoever owns this aircraft - I think we can all agree it looks stunning! Enjoy this film of N702GD receiving clearance to taxi and takeoff on a Runway 24 Departure from Farnborough to Edinburgh on 8th May 2023. Cheers! Steve.
In my past years of having the opportunity to work in Aviation. My boss at the time ( Airport Manager, ) assigned me a detail, which required me to the private hangar facility of the Johnson and Johnson's pharmaceutical's (3) Gulfstreams.
The wonderful staff allowed me a tour inside one. Just sitting in one of the seats would be something I will never forget. I've been playing the Powerball and Mega Millions ever since.
@StanTheMan2348 what an amazing experience. I don’t blame you for playing the Powerball - I would do the same!!! 😍✈️
You can have your mansions,yachts, and million dollar super cars but for me anyway a private jet is the ultimate possession and status symbol .And what a beauty this one is…
@Tom-ok2rh Hi Tom yes I agree. What a great status symbol it is 😍
Agree ....I have a Fiat Uno 1.1 - 2001 model.
Anyone with one of these already has multi-homes, dozens of Ferrari/Lambo/Bugatti, yachts. They don't have to chose, just saying.
Agree 100000%😂😂
I concur
Wow that G700 seemed to get airborne much faster than the Challenger did. Beautiful aircraft it is.
@nohandle242 yes it’s a lovely looking aircraft isn’t it?!
The Challenger probably had more payload weight, which is why it probably took longer to get off the ground.
@@terryheggs1046yes I think you’re right. The G700 was only going to Edinburgh so wouldn’t have necessarily had a big fuel payload.
That phenom pilot was squirrely with that rudder
@bbarnes151 🤣 yes I agree. 👏👏
Had to be a crosswind I was thinking.
@@johnbarnes7716 yes I think it was blowing across the runway ….
Must be pretty amazing to feel that lift into the skies. I would love to get use to it
@thehonorablejiveturkeyspoo6370 Yes too right. Amazing experience I’m sure!
yes and after Gear-up notice it floats like a seagull in a good breeze
Damn that looks and sounds amazing
@dragonage200. It’s awesome isn’t it?!! 😍
Incredible footage, mate!
@DOMINICA AVIATION. Ah thanks a lot! It’s a smart looking aircraft isn’t it?! 😍😍😍😍
@@FarnboroughAviation-nb2or It sure is!!
His current plane flies over my house all the time....literally 600ft above my head. Can't wait to see this beautiful bird
@sgtmerker2401 🤩 wow how incredible. You will be the first to know when he acquires it!! 👍😍
great catch!
@MicksAviation Thanks a lot! 👍👏✈️
That Was Awesome 👏 ❤
@jonathantucker2728 Thanks a lot Jonathan - it’s a beautiful aircraft isn’t it?! 😍
925 km/hour ?
Amazing for commercial aircraft.
Nice videos.
@emiralamsyah9668 Thanks a lot! 👍 Glad you’re enjoying the videos..
As soon as I sell my Audi 4 I will take a look at the G700
@anolesman5540 Good plan! 🤣👏👏
Really amazing 👌
@sivayamsiva9343 Looks cool doesn’t it!!
How easy do you think it would be for a tornado, hurricane or even extreme winds to absolutely disintegrate an airplane hanger? How much wind resistance is there against 25' tall, straight up sheet metal walls?
Also, how far would an airplane fly if it's hanger were destroyed? lol. So in the future, don't be surprised if million dollar airplanes are gone in minutes.
@VitalityMassage Very wise words….
@@FarnboroughAviation-nb2or Well not really. I just study natural living and I see the illogic of this insane world where people value gaudy materialism. It's easy to see how susceptible things like airplanes are to the wrath of mother nature. How about million dollar yachts? Gangs could destroy them with drones in five minutes just like they do in Ukraine.
Did I miss something the last few years with Gulfstreams? When did they go to the shorter main landing gear?
Nah they just got looooonger
My thrill the Lear Jet!
Dammit. I want mine right now!
@johnbarnes7716 Me too!! 😎😍😍
Full power on takeoff is pretty cool. I got to see its twin brother 706GD in Boca Raton at the end of last November
@cpark1570 awesome. I’ll keep a look out for that one!
@@FarnboroughAviation-nb2or I have a picture of it if you want to see. How can I send it to you?
@@cpark1570 great! Thank you. My email is aviationheathrow@gmail.com (no dots between “aviation” and “Heathrow” All the best Steve
@@FarnboroughAviation-nb2or Email sent. Had to send 2 separate emails.
@@cpark1570 Hi Chris - got them!! Thank you so much!!!
Amazing !
@enricodeberardinis672 Looks good doesn’t it?!! 😍
@@FarnboroughAviation-nb2or looks fantastic best jet ever seen!
@@enricodeberardinis672 yes I think you’re right! 👏👏👏
Lovely ❤😍
@giritharjeevasuba5206 it looks incredible doesn’t it?!!😍
Anyone know why it had it reverse thrust on one engine whilst taxiing
@montygti Hi - I’m glad you spotted this. It’s really noticeable on another of my films showing another Gulfstream th-cam.com/video/ECCoRACw17s/w-d-xo.html
I assume using the thrust deflectors like this is a form of braking without excessive use of the wheel brakes which could then heat up? Interesting phenomenon for sure!
Very common thing that is done by crews on alot of jets, not just Gulfstreams. It serves two purposes. 1) the crew tests out the reversers during taxi to make sure they work, and 2) it's a way of slowing the jet down without using the brakes excessively. These jets can pick up speed pretty quick even with the engines at idle
Beauty ❤
@p.h.3245 it’s lovely isn’t it?!!
Super fine jet
@swaggyg5097 it’s great isn’t it?!! 😍
Gulfstream makes the best business class jets period.
@tsmutylo 👏👍👍
Never realized, that the G700 ended up to 10 windows each side meanwhile!
@Altenholz. Yes it’s a big old beast isn’t it!!
Wow
@pierrepfletschinger4647. It’s lovely isn’t it?!!
Saving up my pennies right now. Can't wait!
@photographyinflight4183 🤣 me too!
Damn I want one😂beautiful plane
@claudiocarbone2225 Yes me too! So beautiful 😍
Soo this can go from Miami to London in how many hours?
That’s an easy hop at 7 - 7 1/2 hrs. Half it’s range.
@wadesaxton6079 thanks Wade for clarifying that! 👍
Try 23 hours, the Dc3 takes 22.5 hrs, shows piston engines are faster, just..That’s Jo from Buffallo doing the flying…😊😊
Just saw It says Experimental under the left windscreen. Still a prototype. ?
Nope, not a prototype! But the G700 is still awaiting FAA certification as is the G800, due to FAA delays!!
What a plane.
@dazzler5012 Looks good doesn’t it? 😍
Sales demonstrator plane.
Not FAA certified yet. First customers expected delivery late fall this year.
@wadesaxton6079 Hi Wade thanks a lot! Looks great doesn’t it?!
@@HeathrowAircraft it’s a beautiful aircraft. You did a great capturing it with your video.
@wadesaxton6079 Hi Wade thank you very much. I have a Heathrow Aircraft TH-cam channel too hence why I replied to you on the “wrong” channel. I appreciate your comments - thanks a lot. Best wishes Steve
That's why 'Experimental' is labeled below the cockpit window.
🛩 Wow ! 06:00 👍
@moein-lifestyle It sounded awesome on that take off run didn’t it?! 😍
@@HeathrowAircraftThis is it 👍
@@moein-lifestyle Sorry - it was me - I have 2 channels (Heathrow Aircraft past and present is my other channel ) Forgot to switch channel when replying to you! 🙄
@@FarnboroughAviation-nb2or No problem 👍🛩
Suppose his time is valuable and it's worth every penny.
@andrewharvey5342 Hi Andrew yes I think you’re right. Another world isn’t it?!!
Sweet :)
@sjwilloughby-greene8214. Agreed!! 😍
Longer wingspan than a 737-500.
@ryanmcgowan3061 Hi Ryan - that really puts it into perspective doesn’t it! Awesome!!
What a great plane...wonder why it said "Experimental" under the pilot's window...
@markcrowell3210 Hi Mark I understand it hasn’t received all FAA approvals yet so is technically still “experimental”.
The G700 has not received its Production Certification (PC).
@@gordon9857 Hi Gordon - yes if you are watching the film on a larger screen you can see the word “experimental” under the cockpit window.
Will the G800 be even bigger “?
No, it will going to have the same fuselage length like what’s in G650ER
The G800 is basically a G650er with the new winglet design, 500nm more range with the new touch screen and side stick cockpit.
The G700 is a stretched version of the G800 with the same performance specs as the 650er. (A 650er with more space)
It will be a bit shorter but have longer range than the G700
He has the capacity to own an A380 ... but he doesn't seem to be extravagant... that's good... i think he believes in practicality rather than living a luxurious lifestyle...
@JacobChacko3008 yes I think you’re right!
Elon, has one its being delivered to Falcon Landing llc.
@rowland5951 awesome! 🙌
Is Elon spending his Twitter Money on a G700?👀
@Cars-N-Jets 🤣 Yes I reckon that’s about right!
$ 75 million VS $ 44 billion twitter.
This thing was nothing for elon.
G.700
What a bird!
@eltampico it looks stunning doesn’t it?!!
Brao brao
Piloto Privado show
SUPERBE AVION.
@michelmartin2219 Oui! Je suis d’accord!
About Elons taste; I don't know if this fits. It is nice. But it is cliche. I mean Tailor Swift mmmmk. Justin Bieber mmmmk . Why not go for a CJ or RJ 800….Embraer.
🤔 yes good point - interesting! The G700 has received FAA type certification approvals now so we will find out soon no doubt!
An E-plane?
@marcelwijnen9037 👏 yes probably!
Me wont one too... Tell grand kids back porch grandpa is off on mission to find Never Never land (again)...
@charlesfountain3946 🤣🤣 I’ll join you on that mission! 🤣
Elon Musk as the revolutionary climate activist must of course have a private jet this size.
@sanctanox 🤣 of course! 👏
it will be mine
@samatisulaf 🤣 and mine!
🤝
It MIGHT become Elon Musk's new plane. Gulfstream wouldn't be my first choice, there are other, better choices. BUT like the Twitter purchase and "Mars", etc. No surprise.
The G700 is the gold standard for corporate jets of this size. It's in a different league compared to Bombardier and Dassault
@@jaso5114 More than other private aircraft, private jets are about the company behind them. A former employee of Gulfstream, there long enough to understand the differences of before versus now would probably disagree with you. I wrote "probably" because he is not me.
@@bravocharlie639 All of the big corporate jet manufacturers are facing struggles at the moment... subpar support, parts availability issues, shortage of manpower, etc. I've worked on a vast number of jets from all the manufacturers for the last 28 years and by far the best corporation to deal with is Gulfstream. I'm not alone in that sentiment either.
@@jaso5114 Unless you can afford to buy a A220 ACJ, a plane that has lower overall costs after acquisition, not to mention the number of facilities and properly trained crews and engineers.
@@fernandobernardo6324 The ACJ A220 is a good airplane but it's performance is no where near the G700 in speed, range and service ceiling. The Gulfstream can fly 10,000 feet higher, 2,500 miles further and can fly near the speed of sound.
I fly 700
@macanxiety I’m not jealous 😂
I could never make a pilot......can never hear the ATC comms!
@BSB11 kat I know - me too! 🤣 I’d be always asking them to SPEAK……SLOOOWLY 🤣🤣🤣🫢
To my eyes the tail looks stretched and skinny, and the front looks also stretched.
@Puzzoozoo I know what you mean. It is definitely a stretch - a full 10 windows on this compared to for example 6 on the Gulfstream v.
About $80 million. He can afford it.0
@MENSA.lady2 yes!! 👏 👏
