Gulfstream G400 successfully completes first flight

The G400 departed Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport at 9:04 a.m. and returned 2 hours, 54 minutes later, having reached a speed of Mach 0.85 and altitude of 41,000 feet/12,497 meters. The aircraft accomplished this mission using a blend of sustainable aviation fuel from Gulfstream’s Savannah campus.

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