Gulfstream Aerospace GVII-G600
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The Gulfstream G600 is the longer-range sibling of the G500, with a stretched fuselage, more fuel and 6,600 nautical miles of range at 516 knots — enough for London to Los Angeles or New York to Tokyo non-stop. It shares the fly-by-wire system and active side-sticks introduced on the G500.
It is operated by corporate flight departments and charter fleets at the top of the market, with two or three crew and fixed annual costs in the millions. The cabin is the product: four living areas, a cabin altitude under 5,000 feet at cruise, and the low noise level that distinguishes Gulfstreams. Gulfstream's product support is consistently rated the best in the industry and is part of what justifies the price. As a current type the used market is thin and values are driven by delivery position rather than condition.

- Accident record: class median 1.23 · 42 models in class.
- Severity: class median 10.
- Access: class median 9,850.
- Support: class median 197.5.
- Liquidity: class median 32.81.
- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories. When accident record and severity cannot be scored because the model has too few records, the other three give a partial score out of 30, labelled as such; it is never set against a full score.
