Fred is such a nice guy. I used to had him on facebook, and even though this is a man who has almost flown everything that's out there, he was always eager to answer us in a very kind and polite manner. A true professional. Nice review BTW

Incredible. Thank you for posting this video.

Thank you so much for showing this aircraft. It is a great aircraft..

What a beautiful ship... absolutely gorgeous!! The last GS I was in was a IV, back in the 80s. I was invited by my dad's old copilot on a flight to Houston, returning that evening. What a thrill!! I can’t imagine what flying in the 650 is like.

Beautiful private jet, the G650 has a lot to give yet. Big and comfortable, no words for it.

awesome video !

Great video thanks !

This is awesome!

Low weight, low drag tail-section proudly build by Fokker in Holland. The first jet with a top 10 hit! (Far East Movement - Like a G6! )

Absolutely unreal jet. I hope I get a chance to fly in one someday!

Amazing plane! A time machine!

Very nice

Its V1 decision speed not V2, I'm sure it was just a typo

question,,, whats the pointy thing in front of new aircrafts like the one in the video?

Hi. It is a very technical video but very nice to watch if you are interested in knowing more about the G650. It is amazing how the humans can produce something like that. This aircraft deserves (like the G550 or the Falcon 7X) a superb pilot. Please make more videos of this wonderful bird. Even if it lasts for one hour, I'll watch it. Best wishes to all.

Agreed. I wonder if it was an editing error as obviously the script was a later addition.

so which button do they use to launch missiles?

Whats up with all the moment of the controls.

if i a purchase one of these with my multi instrument will the factory teach/ rate me to fly it?

Is it has parachute for plane and individual ..??

Whats that rod in the front?

Is it to late to change things in the 650?

I think he was referring to what appears to be a pitot tube extending far in front of a test aircraft...

One of the nicest private jets to ever roll down a runway!

OMG, I love this airplane.

GulfStream jets are awesome.

I don't normally write comments about corrections but.. Hey AviationWeek I expected you guys/galls to be sharper on this. Saying and writing V2 decision speed 108 @ 1:28 was a mistake. The definition of LPV was also incorrect, should be Localizer Performance.. I know I'm not the first to recognize it and we all make mistakes, just wanted to help and point those out. Cool video otherwise!

man... i wish i was more mature as a child ... i would love to be a pilot for a commercial airplane..

I dont understand people complaining it has too much range and needs to be faster. Not many jets go above the speed of sound and they are generally not allowed to under 60 000 feet. Generally jets can't get up to 60 000 feet. If it had less range people would complain about that. Its a very fast jet that can go far. I won't complain if someone gives me one. The planes I flew generally could not go over 700 miles and I am in helicopters now. 110 knots and 300 miles. Would love to be up and above the crappy weather at mach 0.9 going to Manila in the cold weather. Stop whining over silly things in areas you have no expertise. Good job Gulfstream. Remember me at Christmas, Thanks.

Do you think a G650 will be on display at Oshkosh? We pack up in a Cessna 172 and ate flying to Oshkosh tomorrow. You think they will have one on display and potentially open to go inside?

Amazing the R/H seat guy had to tell the driver to put his hand on the wheel, obviously not too switched on there that driver!

What is the pilot looking thru while he flies? Is that a 'Heads-up' display?

Aviation industry needs more commercial flight and equipment documentaries on TV channels like PBS and also series on NetFlix. Bringing the public more general aviation information will boost participation and sales.

Lifting off at Echo taxiway makes it 1800 ft ground run great video overall.

and I have studied it in detail, and have found some areas that could be useful in making the G650's successor even better. I have enclosed a list of improvements I hope you and Gulfstrem will fine both interesting and helpful. Make sure the list contains zero BS, and is factual and intelligently put together in words an engineer will understand and appreciate. Remember these guys are professional plane designers and builders, so they will smell BS from a mile off. Good luck.

Ok . great job with the video on the gulfstream g650. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am not a pilot but I am an aviation enthusiasts and did mr george say 7000 mile range? is not the correct answer supposed to be 7000 nautical miles.

I'm typed on the 650 and my comments were included in major discussions in class. I just don't understand where Gulfstream comes up with the phrase, "advanced features". The Gulfstream Advisory Group was lacking in their 'outside' knowledge when designing the systems in this jet.

4:38 - lucky those throttles aren't 'really' connected to the engines directly but via a FADEC system, otherwise those engines would be telling the pilot to 'F*ck off!'

I've experienced several rides in Gulfstream aircraft but never in the pilot's seat. I'm struck by how fixated this left-seater was on the HUD. Never a glance out the window to his left! Yes the HUD is helpful but also stay aware of potentially conflicting traffic in lateral airspace.

The guy on the left seat didn’t even have his hands on the yoke even we’ll after adding TO Thrust and Auto throttle took over. The Gulfstream test pilot had to remind him for him to put his hands on the yoke. Not good. For stall recovery, the same guy still holds the yoke full aft while adding Max thrust.

Dear Santa,

im still 2 birthday presents short from my dad. i know what im going to ask when im turning 20

"Advanced features"..., a clock that has no GPS input, no auto fuel transfer, Ground spoilers that require one throttle advanced in order to remain in the down/stowed position, auto throttles that cannot be armed unless power is applied, no auto brake, (but they are testing it on the G280), the overhead panel is a dogs breakfast and don't get me started on the TROV... In their quest for a common type rating with the G550, Gulfstream sadly missed the mark.

That jet is just about perfect. If it only had bigger engines.

I am aware of AF447 and the right seat pilot's side stick over riding the left seat guy trying to correct the stall. That being said, why is Gulfstream claiming that side sticks are such a wonderful solution for their G500/600? In any event, referring to the G650, why the need for that little bit of extra speed?..and what is the significant offsetting cost of attaining that performance

@RedRider2001

6 жыл бұрын

Edited... Good question about the sidestick on the G500/600. I can only guess that with the G500/600 coming out later they decided to change to the sidestick configuration. It does give the pilots more room for meals especially. (I originally wrote the G650 came out later). As for that little bit of extra speed, keep in mind buyers of the G650 are going to be the richest people in the world. It can be a di*k size contest for some of them while others can actually take advantage of the speed and justify the extra expense. They can buy a perfectly good, new, biz jet for $10M or less but the G650 is selling starting ay $64.5M so a few extra dollars in gas isn't going to bother them. And I agree that RR reputation has suffered and for quite a while. They also cost Lockheed L-1011 sales years ago when the UK government had to bail them out. MD sold many more DC-10 jets and many of them crashed. You could say RR poor management indirectly caused many of those deaths. And then of course the A380 engine failure where the crew did a spectacular job of bringing that super jumbo home in one piece. As the British say, cheers!
