Gulfstream Launches fresh Business Jet with Longest compartment in Class in the World

GEORGIA— Gulfstream Aerospace has officially launched its latest business aircraft, named Gulfstream G300. It is a clean‑sheet super‑midsize jet designed to succeed the G280. The announcement was made today at Gulfstream’s “Discover the Difference” event.

Gulfstream President Mark Burns emphasized that the G300 builds on the foundation laid by the G280, while introducing major advances in cockpit systems, cabin comfort, and safety.

Gulfstream New Midsize Jet

During the launch event, Gulfstream revealed that a full‑scale mockup and confirmed that the first production airframe was already in place.

The G300 carries up to ten passengers in a two‑zone cabin, which Gulfstream describes as “the longest cabin in its class.” The interior will feature Gulfstream’s signature panoramic oval windows and a whisper‑quiet cabin environment.

It will also have a 100 % fresh air system supplemented with plasma ionization for enhanced air quality.

The G300 offers a range of 3,600 nautical miles at Mach 0.80, and 3,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.84, allowing non‑stop missions across commonly trafficked intercity routes.

The jet can cruise at 45,000 feet, and at 41,000 feet, the cabin altitude remains at a relatively low 4,800 feet.

The cockpit is highlighted by the new Harmony Flight Deck, with six large touchscreen displays and an intelligent Phase‑of‑Flight system that adapts presented information to each leg of a mission.

Additional features include a Synthetic Vision Primary Flight Display (3D runway/terrain visualization) and a Predictive Landing Performance System that estimates stopping distance in real time.

Power comes from a pair of Honeywell engines driving a swept wing optimized for efficiency and performance.

Development & Market Positioning

Gulfstream has logged nearly 22,000 hours of systems lab testing, simulated flights in its Integration Test Facility. It also has close to 2,000 hours of ground testing on the first production airframe.

Two further test aircraft are under construction for the certification campaign. As the G280 is phased out, the G300 will take its place in Gulfstream’s fleet.

The G300 enters a competitive super‑midsize market that includes the Bombardier Challenger 3500, Cessna Citation Longitude, and Embraer Praetor 600. These are aircraft that typically carry eight to twelve passengers over ranges of around 3,000 to 3,500 nm.

Gulfstream is positioning the G300 as a step ahead in cabin length, advanced avionics, and overall comfort in this contested segment.

With the G300 now joining Gulfstream’s lineup alongside the G400, G500, G600, G700, and G800, the firm bolsters its next‑generation family of jets as it looks to attract buyers seeking cutting‑edge technology and elevated passenger experience.

Bottom Line

By combining cutting-edge avionics, enhanced cabin comfort, and competitive range capabilities, the G300 is positioned as a premium successor to the G280 and a strong challenger to its rivals.

As development progresses and the aircraft moves toward certification, the G300 signals Gulfstream’s continued commitment to innovation and leadership across all segments of business aviation.
