2021年10月4日/灣流宇航公司推出了兩款全新的飛機,進一步擴大了其超現代化、高科技的飛機家族:
灣流G800,灣流歷史上航程最大的飛機,
灣流G400,十多年來首次進入大客艙級的公務機。
Oct. 4, 2021 / Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.,introduced two all-new aircraft, further expanding its ultramodern, high-technology family of aircraft: the Gulfstream G800, the longest-range aircraft in Gulfstream history, and the Gulfstream G400, the first new entrant to the large-cabin class in more than a decade.

三架G800計劃參加飛行測試,第一架被稱為t1的已經推出。這架飛機上個月在美國薩凡納開始靠自身的動力滑行。計劃在年底前進行首次飛行。與此同時,G400計劃在2023年初開始飛行測試。
隨著G700旗艦機將在大約一年後投入使用,這兩款新飛機是灣流公司專注於持續研發支出的巔峰之作,並展示了這家公務機製造商的下一步計劃。
據灣流公司總裁馬克·伯恩斯(mark Burns)說,「G400和g800分別定於2025年初和2023年服役,」這也是灣流公司在過去八年裡開發的第五和第六款新飛機。
Three G800s are slated to take part in flight testing, with the first—dubbed T1—already having been rolled out. That aircraft began taxiing under its own power last month in Savannah. Plans call for first flight by year-end. Meanwhile, the G400 is slated to begin flight testing in early 2023.
With the flagship G700 set to enter service in about a year, the two new aircraft are the culmination of Gulfstream’s focus on continuous R&D spending and answers the question of what’s next for the business jet manufacturer. The G400 and G800—slated for service entry in early 2025 and 2023, respectively—also mark the development of the fifth and sixth new aircraft over the past eight years at Gulfstream, according to company president Mark Burns.
灣流超遠程公務機
G800為客戶提供了灣流機群中最遠的航程,
8,000海裡/14,816公裡的航程,以0.85馬赫,
7,000海裡/12,964公裡的航程,以0.90馬赫。
G800採用了羅爾斯•羅伊斯公司(Rolls-Royce)的高推力「珍珠700」發動機,以及灣流公司(Gulfstream) G700設計的機翼和小翼,還具備了更高的燃油效率和更多的城市配對直達飛行的能力。
「我們設計超遠程公務機G800,是為了讓人們接觸到更多的世界各地的人。」
「G800重新定義了灣流飛機飛得更遠、更快的含義,並憑藉其令人印象深刻的高速,超遠航程,節省了更多時間。」
G800最多可容納19名乘客,最多可提供4個客艙區或3個帶機組艙的生活區。
它還具有標誌性的灣流客艙體驗,100%新鮮,永不重新過濾的空氣,低噪音水平,行業領先的低客艙高度和16個灣流全景橢圓形舷窗。
Gulfstream's Longest-Range Aircraft
The G800 offers customers the longest range in the Gulfstream fleet with its 8,000-nautical-mile/14,816-kilometer range at Mach 0.85 and 7,000-nm/12,964-km range at Mach 0.90. Powered by high-thrust Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and the Gulfstream-designed wing and winglet introduced on the Gulfstream G700, the G800 also features enhanced fuel-efficiency and more city-pair capabilities.
"We designed the ultralong-range G800 to extend our customers' reach to more people and places around the world," "The G800 redefines what it means to go farther faster in a Gulfstream and offers even more time savings with its impressive range at high speed."
The G800 is designed to seat up to 19 passengers and offers up to four living areas or three living areas with crew compartment. It also features the signature Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100% fresh, never recirculated air, whisper-quiet noise levels, industry-leading low cabin altitude and 16 Gulfstream panoramic oval windows.
全新大客艙領導者
全新的G400兼具遠程、高速性能;客艙舒適;以及無與倫比的環境效率。
G400採用了灣流公司的空氣動力學清潔機翼設計和先進的普惠PW812GA發動機,通過降低燃料消耗、排放和噪音,提高了環境性能。
該飛機將以0.85馬赫的遠程巡航速度,
飛行4200海裡/ 7778公裡。
G400提供了三種客艙設計,最多容納9人、11人或12人,
並提供標誌性的灣流客艙體驗和10個灣流全景橢圓形舷窗。
「G400是根據客戶的直接意見構思設計的。它具有革命性的可靠性和安全特性,這是灣流在獲獎的對稱飛行駕駛艙和同級別客艙中最大的特點,使其成為灣流下一代機隊的傑出成員。」
「這款飛機以最大的操作靈活性和更高的機艙舒適度,重新定位了這一細分市場。」
A New Large-Cabin Leader
The all-new G400 offers a combination of long-range, high-speed performance; cabin comfort; and environmental efficiency unrivaled in its class.
The G400 ramps up environmental performance by reducing fuel consumption, emissions and noise through its use of Gulfstream's aerodynamic clean-wing design and advanced Pratt & Whitney PW812GA engines. The aircraft will fly 4,200 nm/7,778 km at its long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85. Three floorplans are offered, with options for seating up to nine, 11 or 12 passengers, and the G400 provides the signature Gulfstream Cabin Experience and 10 Gulfstream panoramic oval windows.
"The G400 was conceived and designed with direct customer input. It features revolutionary reliability and safety features we pioneered with our award-winning Symmetry Flight Deck and the largest cabin in its class, making it an outstanding addition to our next-generation fleet," said Burns. "The aircraft re-envisions this market segment with its maximum operational flexibility and enhanced cabin comfort."
當G800最終取代G650ER時,灣流的所有大型客艙噴氣式飛機都將擁有通用的駕駛艙——特別是基於霍尼韋爾Epic的對稱航空電子設備和BAE系統主動控制側杆——這將使飛行員更容易在這些線控飛機之間轉換。
進一步放寬培訓要求,G400到G600將具有共同的飛行員類型等級;G700和 G800也將具有共同的飛行員等級。
When the G800 eventually replaces the G650ER, all of Gulfstream’s large-cabin jets will have common flight decks—notably Honeywell Epic-based Symmetry avionics and BAE Systems active control sidesticks—that will make it easier for pilots to transition between these fly-by-wire aircraft. Further easing training requirements, the G400 through G600 will have a common pilot type rating; the G700 and G800 will also have a common pilot rating.
G700和G800 將共享機翼、尾翼和機身,此外還有勞斯萊斯Pearl700渦扇發動機,有望在明年初獲得FAA認證。
The G700 and G800 will share a wing, tail, and fuselage cross-section, in addition to the Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 turbofans, which are on track to receive FAA certification early next year.
G800 和 G400 都配備了灣流對稱駕駛艙,該駕駛艙採用電子連接的主動控制側杆——行業首創——以及業內最廣泛使用的觸控螢幕技術,帶有 10 個觸控螢幕顯示器。
該公司屢獲殊榮的預測著陸性能系統 (PLPS),為飛行員提供潛在跑道偏移的提前警告,以便他們調整進近或復飛。
G800 中的雙平視顯示器採用灣流的新型組合視覺系統 (CVS),該系統將增強型飛行視覺系統 (EFVS) 和合成視覺系統 (SVS) 整合到一個圖像中,提高飛行員的態勢感知能力並進入全球更多機場。
G800 客戶交付預計將於 2023 年開始,G400 交付預計將於 2025 年開始。
Next-Generation Technology
Both the G800 and G400 are equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck featuring electronically linked active control sidesticks — an industry first — and the industry's most extensive use of touch-screen technology with 10 touch-screen displays.
The company's award-winning Predictive Landing Performance System (PLPS), providing pilots advanced warning of potential runway excursions so they can adjust approaches or go around.
Dual head-up displays in the G800 feature Gulfstream's new Combined Vision System (CVS) that unites the Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) into a single image, increasing pilot situational awareness and access to more airports worldwide.
G800 customer deliveries are anticipated to begin in 2023 and G400 deliveries are anticipated to begin in 2025.
