When it becomes available in 2010, the new Gulfstream G650 will be the fastest, longest-range business jet available.

This $64+ million private jet offers the longest, widest, tallest, most comfortable cabin in its class. The company increased the size of the signature oval windows by 16% to 28 (71.12 cm) by 20.5 inches (52.07 cm).

According the the company:

At a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85, it will carry eight passengers and a crew of four on nonstop legs of 7,000 nautical miles(12,964 km) . That's Dubai to New York, New York to Beijing or London to Buenos Aires with NBAA IFR fuel reserves. At high-speed cruise, Mach 0.90, it will transport your team from Los Angeles to London or Tokyo to Los Angeles in record setting time.

The G650 has a longer living area in the cabin to improve the seat incline and provide more legroom. The business jet will have wider seats, more aisle space and a conference grouping with three-across seating for meetings or meals accommodating up to 6 people. The additional cabin space will have space for a larger stateroom option that includes a single seat, a divan that berths into a double bed, a large, 26-inch (66.04 cm) pop-up LCD monitor and two windows on each side.
