Dassault Falcon has long been known for its high standard of performance and technology when creating the jets their customers love flying on. That high standard of excellence hasn’t skipped a beat when it comes to the Falcon 2000. A large cabin, transcontinental range, and fast cruise speeds make this aircraft a favorite of all passengers.
Large Cabin
The cabin of the Falcon 2000 offers plenty of room for 8-10 passengers to sit comfortably. Typically, there are two seats that can extend to flatbeds so passengers can sleep as they would at home. One of the key features to the cabin is the pressurization. The crew can lower the cabin pressure so it feels as though you are flying at a much lower altitude. At 45,000 feet, the pressure can be set to 7,650 feet and can feel as low as sea level at 25,000 feet. This immensely helps reduce the feeling of fatigue when you step off the aircraft.
Easy to Maintain
Mechanically speaking, the Falcon 2000 is one of the most efficient jets on the market. Fault monitoring and digital diagnostic systems make trouble shooting and repair work much easier resulting in less turnaround time after a flight.
Avionics
Much like the maintenance of the Falcon 2000, the avionics were designed to be as easy to use as possible. The Collins Pro Line integrated avionics suite features four display screens that rest near the functions they are responsible for. This makes it very easy for pilots to make quick, in-air transitions.
Range & Speed
At a cruising speed of Mach .80, the Falcon 2000 can travel 3,000 nautical miles and reach 37,000 feet in just 19 minutes. That means this large jet can make almost any trip in the United States nonstop.

There are few private jets that can deliver the combination of functions the Falcon 2000 can. The comfort it offers while still being able to travel 3,450 miles at Mach .8 makes for an excellent travel experience. See for yourself on your next flight.
This $65 million business jet that had a three-year wait list to even place an order is featured in Magellan Jets’ Membership program. So what’s it like to fly on what many refer to as the biggest and overall best private jet money can buy? It’s hard to find a place to start, but here’s what separates the G650 from the competitive pack.
A CABIN DESIGNED FOR PRODUCTIVITY
Engineers took every last detail into consideration when designing this aircraft, even the air passengers breathe. The G650 has the lowest cabin altitude of any business jet and pumps 100% fresh oxygen every two minutes into the cabin.
What does that mean? At 45,000 feet, passengers feel like they are at 3-4,000 feet, which is much lower than almost every jet in the industry. This creates reduced fatigue and helps passengers feel just as refreshed when they land as when they took off.
With 8 passengers on board, the G650 can fly up to 7,000 nautical miles nonstop. No city is out of reach and you’ll be able to get there, in most cases, 30-60 minutes faster given the speed of the G650.
The ultra-long range of the G650 can fly nonstop (just to name a few):
Teterboro to Cape Town Teterboro to Beijing LA to Moscow
* NBAA IFR theoretical range. Actual range will be affected by ATC routing, operating speed, weather, outfitting options and other factors
Technology
The high speeds of the G650 are not just limited to describing its Mach. Whether it be a multi-channel satellite communication system, a wireless on board network, or a cabin audio system, high speed connectivity is present in every aspect of the cabin. One of the most innovative in-cabin perks is the Gulfstream Cabin Management System. This feature allows touch screen control for things like temperature and window shades to be at the tip of your smartphone.
Larger Cabin
The interior of the G650 is in a class of its own-literally. At 8 feet 6 inches wide, the largest cabin in the class can comfortably fit 18 passengers.
Avionics
The Avionics system is about as technologically advanced as any aircraft on the market. Low visibility conditions are not an issue with a dsiplay system able to create a digital view of the plane’s surroundings. Infrared images appear directly in the pilot’s display screens from the enhanced vision system along with a camera to see what’s under the plane.

As we mentioned, there is plenty to love about the Gulfstream G650. It is hard to find any aircraft that can match this business jets’ combination of speed, size and range. The G650 will be a welcome addition to the already impressive collection in our jet-specific membership programs.
As hard as it is to believe, calling the Citation X+ the fastest business jet on the planet is actually an understatement. To be correct, The Citation X+ is the fastest non-military grade jet there is. However, speed isn’t the only feature to this aviation icon that can reach an unparalleled Mach .935.
Unrivaled Speed
The Citation X+ hasn’t just beaten speed records, but shattered them time and time again. After briefly losing the distinguished crown as the fastest business jet there is to Gulfstream in late 2012, the Citation X+ quickly came back with a vengeance. It reached a speed as high as Mach .935 and 617 miles per hour at cruising speed, according to Robb Report.
The larger cabin is the first thing passengers will notice when stepping onto the Citation X+. It is about 15 inches longer than the Citation X, providing considerably more legroom for a spacious ride. Multiple compartments with additional storage units available offer plenty of space for luggage. Able to comfortably seat 9 in the forward club facing seats, the 13 large windows make sure every passenger has a view to remember.
On the Outside…
One of the key features that often gets over-shadowed by its out of this world speed is the fact that the Citation X+ looks like a plane you want to fly in. It’s distinct winglets and super sleek design topped off with clean lines make this aircraft just flat out look fast, even when it’s not in the air.
Avionics
Along with every other feature of the Citation X+, the avionics do not disappoint. Two Rolls-Royce turbofan engines power the world’s fastest business jet, while the cockpit offers an extremely pilot friendly avionics system. Five 7×8 inch screens replace the standard analog instruments, making for a very easy to read display system.

When it comes to the Citation X+, its hard to look past its lightning fast cruising speed, and rightfully so. Not many jets can reach Mach .9, nevermind Mach .935. However, as you can tell, there is much more to this super-mid size aircraft. Experience it for yourself with a 25 hour membership.

If you thought the G650 was top of the line, wait until you meet the newest addition to the Gulfstream fleet, the G650ER. Having the capability to travel up to 7,500 nautical miles, the new jet takes the prize for world’s longest-range business jet. An impressive 500 nautical miles farther than the G650, which entered service in 2012. The G650ER presents significant new nonstop city pairings including Hong Kong to New Jersey and Dallas to Sydney. The new business jet still provides the same luxuries as the original G650 (cabin size, avionics, and other systems). The biggest difference being the larger size fuel tank, allowing for an additional 4,000 pounds of jet-A.
Gulfstream has delivered more than 60 Gulfstream G650 into the marketplace. Gulfstream is allowing G650 owners to upgrade their original jet to a G650ER beginning in 2015.

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. earlier this week celebrated the 25th anniversary of the GIV. The Gulfstream GIV is one of the best-selling large-cabin, long-range business jet in the world.
Gulfstream IV Celebrates 25 Years of Excellence
“The GIV was the aircraft that launched a thousand Gulfstream aircraft,” said Gulfstream president Joe Lombardo. The Gulfstream IV formed the foundation for designing and building the G300, G400, G350, and G450. The aircraft’s first flight was a significant turning point and set a new standard for technology for the company. Over 520 of the 536 jets produced in the GIV series are still in operation today. The ultra long-range and unprecedented speed set a milestone for the Gulfstream aircraft. Jim Gallagher, director of the company’s large and mid-cabin sustaining program, said “there is no other aircraft that came close, companies relied on it to travel worldwide; it helped push global commerce.”
The first GIV flight took off from Savannah International Airport on September 19, 1985. It was reported that more than 80 orders were taken while the aircraft was still in development. The pre-orders at that time were one of the largest for a single aircraft in business aviation history. After being certified by the Federal Aviation Administration on June 8, 1987, the GIV was able to officially enter service. From there on the GIV has become the aircraft of choice for business-jet customers, private individuals, and air charter companies worldwide.
Have you ever wondered what the difference was between the Gulfstream GV, G500, and the Gulfstream G550 private jets? If you fly private, you understand the importance of knowing the ins and outs of the aircraft that you are planning to fly on.
When examining the interior of the Gulfstream GV, G500, and the G550, it is important to research and learn all about the amenities and features on board. The G500 and G550 are both equipped with a PlaneView cockpit, which is currently the most advanced flight deck in business aviation. The systems in each aircraft are based on Honeywell’s next generation Primus Epic integrated avionics suite. The G500 and G550 are both equipped with Gulfstream’s signature Cursor Control Device (CCD). The CCD aids pilots in flight planning, navigation, and communications in flight by improving the way that pilots interact with the PlaneView avionics system. Although the GV does not offer CCD or PlaneView, there is a new option to install PlaneDeck, which converts the displays from older tube-style displays to LCDs, and offers much of the same features. PlaneDeck is also Synthetic Vision System (SVS) capable. The optional Synthetic Vision Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD) adds to the enhanced situation awareness even in zero visibility conditions right on the main cockpit display, instead of on a separate screen.
Flight Management Systems
All three aircraft (GV, G500, & G550) have Enhanced Vision System (EVS). EVS significantly improves situational awareness by providing an infrared video feed of the environment and presenting the pilot with a clear view of runway markings, taxiways, and the surrounding landscape at night or in the worst weather conditions. Each aircraft is also equipped with autoland, a system that fully automates the landing phase of an aircraft’s flight, with the human crew supervising the process. Gulfstream has been able to manufacture each aircraft with the best Flight Management Systems, ensuring additional safety, comfort, and efficiency.
Cabin Comparison
The cabins aboard each Gulfstream combine productivity with exceptional comfort. The signature oval windows provide ample sunlight and a continuous supply of 100 percent fresh air throughout the cabin keeps passengers comfortable on long flights. With options for four distinct living areas, three separate temperature zones and a choice of available configurations that seat up to 18 passengers, passengers are able to indulge in complete business luxury. Maintaining contact with the home or office is even easier with a host of standard communication features: a fax machine, a printer, a wireless local area network and satellite communications are all available as options. Cabins arranged as separate groupings encourage working, dining, entertaining or resting to help keep fresh and productive.
These aircraft are three of the most popular private jet charters and are well established in ultra-long range and large cabin category. The Gulfstream GV, G500, and G550 are three extraordinary airplanes that offer extensive range and impressive speeds without sacrificing cabin comfort. Gulfstream has been manufacturing airplanes for over 50 years and is used to setting the standard for business travel. They have a top-rated service center network that stands ready to provide assistance on six continents. If we were to recommend an aircraft for a long, luxurious business travel, it would likely be a Gulfstream GV, G500, or G550.
