Gulfstream reveals new supersonic aircraft, inlet designs in patent filings
"Gulfstream has released new drawings of a supersonic business jet design in patent application forms, revealing features such as a telescoping nose, highly-sloped fuselage and variable-geometry wings." Doesn't look like the boys in Savannah are gonna let Cessna hold on to the "World's Fastest" title forever. (www.flightglobal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Merry Christmas to all.
I guess some people will want one but they better have a large maintanance budget, variable wings and super tuned power plants cost a lot to keep flying. I think .8 to .9 mach is fast enough and safer
I remember back in '74 when I first saw a G-2, and boy was I excited. It was operating for Coca Cola, and the crew was very hospitable to me (line slime/gopher/refueler at the time), and invited me aboard for coffee and a danish. Thank you guys for your time and "motivational tour"! Wow!
This jet however, reminds me of the one in the "Johnny Quest" cartoons series.

It's ugly!
Potential need for speed: Exxon Mobile;A-M Steel;AEP;Mining Industry. All have multi-continent operations.Then,of course......Mark Cuban!
Dddd
I think this will be a blend of the G650 and the G550. G650 is already rated to .95 mach, structure seems to be able to handle the sweep wings. The nose issue is a whole nother ball game. If they can get it out there far enough, the wave will have to travel farther out torwards the winglets. I could get on board with one of these. Great innovation from a Private American Comapany!!!
