What is a ultra long-range jet?
Ultra long-range jets are the flagships of business aviation, built to connect almost any two cities on earth non-stop. Ranges of 6,000 to 7,700 nautical miles cover routes such as London to the US west coast or the Gulf to East Asia, flown at cruise speeds of 500 to 560 knots and service ceilings up to 51,000 feet, well above congested airline traffic. Cabins typically include a dedicated bedroom, full dining area and multiple living zones, and despite their size many models need only 5,700 to 6,300 feet of runway thanks to powerful twin or triple turbofan engines.
Ultra long-range jets such as the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 7X are chosen for non-stop intercontinental travel where landing to refuel is not an option.
