Gulfstream unveiled its new G700 business jet at the 2019 National Business Aviation Association Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Monday. The aircraft is already well on its way toward certification, with Gulfstream reporting that it has put in almost 14,000 hours of lab testing on the aircraft in its “integration- and cabin-test facilities, Systems Integration Bench and Iron Bird.” The G700 has also completed “successful ground vibration testing, engine runs, loads calibration and all structural testing required for first flight.” Gulfstream is planning to begin deliveries of the G700 in 2022.
