CL-30 Speculation?

[CelticCitation]

Anyone have any solid info they want to share about the block change happening to the CL-30? I have heard, starts with SN 408, INS, some other avionics upgrades. Anyone else have info?

I'd bet Proline Fusion, INS, and 3400nm+ range.

I heard INS as an 'option' . Eventually, I heard they might stretch it some as the Engines are de-rated right now and could still be used on a stretch version.

I wonder how much difference is gained in range by the g280 just from the newer engines? How hard would it be to bolt them on to a 300?

Same HTF engines I believe, they've just been turned up to 11.

synthetic vision, ins is all i heard. there is a HUD that will fit but from what i hear bombardier hasn't jumped on the band wagon yet to get it in the airplane.

Gulfstream is claiming 7-8% efficiency gain on their HTFs. 10 years down the development road. That percentage alone might gain 200 miles. Would be great to be able to reliably get from Anchorage to Japan.

What would be awesome is an autopilot that dosent fly the plane like drunken grizzly bear would. Worst Autopilot Ever!

Quit complainin', Celtic! You Challenger guys...

How's things on that side of the state? Better than before I would guess.

Take care.
