FAA grants Gulfstream G650 a type-certificate

The Federal Aviation Administration, on 7 September, granted Gulfstream's G650 business-jet a type certificate, clearing the way for the company to deliver the first aircraft before year-end.
"The G650 is a superlative aircraft with the most technologically advanced flight deck in business aviation and the largest, most comfortable cabin in its class," Gulfstream president Larry Flynn claims.

The G650 has a cabin measuring 102 inches wide and 77 inches high with a cabin altitude of 4,850 feet at 51,000ft and 3,300 feet at 41,000ft.
The company has accumulated a back-log of 200 orders for the new machine.
