Photos of Note: Gulfstream unveils the G650

| | Comments () | TrackBacks (0) |
Here's the full set of photos from yesterday's G650 rollout, including the flights to and from Savannah. Seven thousand people attended yesterday's ceremonies that saw the new large-cabin business jet taxi in under its own power. I suspect a power roll-in could be a first for an aerospace industry.

The first thing you notice when walking around the aircraft is the wing, which is incredibly clean and already has a slight upward curve to it. Also worth noting, the sharp angle at the edge of the cockpit windows gives N650GA an almost Cardinal-esq appearance. In case you're wondering, the windows are 16% larger than the G550's, which strangely makes the aircraft look smaller from far away. From an aesthetic point of view alone, this is one good-looking aircraft. For the sake of full disclosure, I don't think I've ever met an aircraft I didn't think was good-looking. Enjoy!
