Gulfstream G650ER — the World's Fastest and Longest-Range Private Jet
The Gulfstream G650ER is the private jet against which all others are measured. With a cruise speed of Mach 0.925, a range of 13,890 km, and the widest cabin of any non-widebody jet, it defines the Ultra Heavy category. It flies non-stop from Frankfurt to Hong Kong, Melbourne, or Buenos Aires — destinations that require at least one fuel stop in any other jet. The oval rear cabin design with 16 large windows per side sets new standards for natural light at 51,000 feet.
The G650ER is the choice when no compromise is acceptable. For long-haul routes under 10,000 km, the Global 6000 or Challenger 350 offers better price-performance.

A G650ER charter from Frankfurt to New York runs approximately €150,000–220,000. For ultra-long-range routes such as Frankfurt–Hong Kong or Frankfurt–Sydney, budget €280,000–400,000.
The G650ER is one of the world's fastest private jets, with a maximum speed of Mach 0.925 and a cruise speed of Mach 0.85 (approximately 956 km/h). It covers Frankfurt–New York roughly 30 minutes faster than competitors.
The range of 13,890 km is not sufficient for non-stop Germany–Sydney (approximately 16,000 km). A fuel stop (e.g. Dubai or Singapore) is required. Non-stop destinations include: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok, Buenos Aires.
The G650ER has the widest cabin of any non-widebody business jet (2.64 m) and in the standard configuration seats 14 passengers across two or three zones, with sleeping capacity for 8.
