Gulfstream Aerospace G-6 Gulfstream G650
The Gulfstream G650 is a large, ultra-long-range business jet capable of flying non-stop between almost any two cities in the world without refuelling. When it entered service in 2012, it was among the fastest civilian aircraft flying, cruising close to the speed of sound. Its cabin windows are unusually large for a business jet, letting in far more natural light than typical airliner or jet windows. It has become a favourite among corporations, governments, and private owners who need to fly very long distances quickly and in comfort.
