The G800 is also capable of traveling 7,000 nm at its high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90 or an “unprecedented” 8,000 nm at Mach 0.87.
General Dynamics said the jet had “greater capabilities than originally anticipated” and highlighted its maximum operating speed that has jumped from Mach 0.925 to Mach 0.935.
