Photos of Note: Gulfstream unveils the G650

Here’s the full set of photos from yesterday’s G650 rollout, including the flights to and from Savannah. Seven thousand people attended yesterday’s ceremonies that saw the new large-cabin business jet taxi in under its own power. I suspect a power roll-in could be a first for an aerospace industry.

The first thing you notice when walking around the aircraft is the wing, which is incredibly clean and already has a slight upward curve to it. Also worth noting, the sharp angle at the edge of the cockpit windows gives N650GA an almost Cardinal-esq appearance. In case you’re wondering, the windows are 16% larger than the G550’s,
which strangely makes the aircraft look smaller from far away. From an aesthetic point of view alone, this is one good-looking aircraft. For the sake of full disclosure, I don’t think I’ve ever met an aircraft I didn’t think was good-looking. Enjoy!
