New G600?

[Rick James]

Interesting...

The G550 cabin is 44'11"L x 6'2"H x 7'4"W with an interior cabin volume of 1,669 cu.ft and a baggage area of 226 cu. ft.

The CL604/605 cabin is 25'6"L x 6'1"H x 8'2"W with an interior cabin volume of 1,035 cu. ft. and a baggage area of 115 cu.ft.

So...while you do have a cabin width that is 10" wider than the Gulfstream, you do loose quite a bit in cabin length, height and volume.

Anecdotally, I notice after a flight in the Gulfstream that the FA is normally pushing the seats back against the cabin sides because the passengers have slid them into the aisles and canted them towards each other to facilitate conversation. The decision to widen the Gulfstream cabin was for marketing - not functionality.

While I can't argue the facts, nor would I, the powers that be wanted a wider cabin at all costs. The talk of a 605 to replace our 604 is ongoing just because of the "wider" cabin (I realize how small it really is). I hope that Gulfstream will produce an aircraft to fill our next order, though I doubt it will be in time.
P.S. GV, I always value your input and look forward to your informative posts.

I would like to know about this issue as well. Here or in a PM if you have the time. Thank you.

Gulfstream GX

A little birdy told me that me that its true when Gulfstream denies that there is a G600 on the way. Because it will be called the G7000 in reference to its 7000nm range. They will build it. The Global 5000/XRS can't go unchallenged. :beer:

It had better have a crew rest area that can store two pilots then. At that kind of range, Part 91K and Part 135 operations can't fully exploit the capability without 4 pilots. Part 91K and Part 135 operators would make up a large portion of the potential customer base.

I think thats a given.......:beer:

There are G-V's out there that don't have a crew rest area to accomodate one pilot let alone two. Right now, any trip we do over 12 hours has to have four pilots and we have to hang a curtain in the middle of the passenger cabin to create a legal rest area for the augmented crew.

By the way, if they build it with 7000 miles of range, you can guarantee somebody will want to go 7500 non-stop. Either way, count me as somebody who'd rather go 700 miles....or even 70.

And there are quite a few G550's and GV's out there with no crew rest area, as the galley in the front is maximized and the rear is sleeping quarters for the principle. So regardless of stage length, your are never sleeping up front

If you go to Ardmore, OK (KADM) you can see a Gulfstream Peregrine sitting infront of the FBO. I believe only two were manufactured.http://peregrine

The new plane is not going to be another iteration of the G550, the G7000 is going to be all new.

7,000 NM advertised range just means you can go farther at .85... TC

Why have one tired crew when you can have two for twice the money!
