Announced in 2021 alongside the ultra-long-range G800, the G400 represents Gulfstream’s continued expansion of its product lineup, bringing the total number of models to six. The G400 is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812GA engines, enabling it to fly 4,200 nautical miles at Mach 0.85. The aircraft also boasts advanced features, including the high-speed wing and winglet design shared with its G500 and G600 siblings, as well as the Symmetry flight deck and a predictive landing performance system.

 

For those interested in experiencing the G400’s capabilities firsthand, Gulfstream offers full-scale cabin mockups at its Savannah headquarters and its sales and design center in Los Angeles. The cabin, which can accommodate up to 12 passengers, showcases the luxurious and efficient design that Gulfstream is known for.

 

“The completion of the first flight marks a significant milestone for the G400,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream Aerospace. “It demonstrates, yet again, the maturity of Gulfstream’s new aircraft programs and the advantages created by the intentionally designed commonalities shared across our next-generation fleet.”

 

As the G400 progresses through its flight test program, it is set to further establish Gulfstream’s reputation for innovation and excellence in the business aviation sector.
