OK, this moves to the top of my Christmas list.
Speed record? Nonsense. Not even true for a civilian jet. The SR-71 crossed the Atlantic in about an hour at Mach 3.3, and the Concorde could go Mach 2. The person who posted this must be too young and/or uninformed to know about those aircraft.
Wonderful news for the business jet industry. Great accomplishment and congratulations.
Record!???
What happened to the SST not to mention the SR71 - or is this just a record for Dassault?

I'm guessing that this is a record for travel between the metropolitan areas of NYC and London. Concorde flew from JFK to Heathrow.
A record probably for biz jets. Awarded to whoever wants to put the mach meter on or nearly on the red line AND wants to burn as much fuel as they can.
Stupid and not worth reading about.
