Aircraft Overview

History

Gulfstream announced the G650ER on May 18, 2014. The extended-range model received certification in October 2014 and customer deliveries began late that year. G650-series production ended in February 2025 as Gulfstream transitioned to the G800.

Design

The G650ER retained the G650 airframe and Rolls-Royce BR725 engines but carried 4,000 lb more fuel, using space already available in the wings. At Mach 0.85 its published range increased to 7,500 nautical miles, and existing G650 aircraft could be modified to the ER configuration.

Variants

The G650ER is distinct from the original 7,000-nautical-mile G650 and from the newer G700 and G800. Family first-flight dates and family production totals are excluded from this exact G650ER record.

Operations

The G650ER was designed for long-range corporate and government transport, pairing an intercontinental range with a published service ceiling of 51,000 feet. The G800 became Gulfstream's successor in this range class.
