Your caption claims that this video is a slick marketing video from Gulfstream, but in fact it was from a Youtube channel called “Altitude Addicts”. It had a voice-over of blather which sounded AI-generated and was not informative. I would be pleased if you did not share videos from this channel in the future. Stick with worthwhile, human-generated reporting, commentary, and marketing hype.
Sweet bird that’s just a cropped G500, but you are going to pay for that .85 Mach LRC to 4,200nm with 8 PAX/3 crew NBAA. The Embraer Praetor 600 for example can cruise at Mach .80 for 4,000nm 4PAX NBAA and costs a whopping $10-$14M less. If I were a business owner in the need for a super-mid size or large bizjet, I’d be looking REAL hard at those mission numbers for that money. Never mind the operational hour cost difference.
A look at BCA’s Aircraft Purchasing & Operations Handbook shows that the average speed of the Praetor 600 on that 4,000nm mission is 423 knots. With an average speed on that segment of around 480 knots, the G400 would arrive over an hour earlier. Along with a larger cabin and lower cabin altitude, albeit at a higher price tag, it’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. Both awesome airplanes!
