The fifth Gulfstream G700 test aircraft took off and flew for three hours and eight minutes, reaching an altitude of 48,000 ft and a top speed of Mach 0.935. This aircraft will focus largely on testing avionics.

Opening a new and improved MRO in Savannah could not have come at a better time for Gulfstream, as it looks to support its many existing customers in addition to new buyers of the G500 and G600.
