Partly in tribute to the test crew who perished last month but also keen to consolidate some of the latest news on the development of the 650.

Performance/Specifications:
650 / 550
Cruise: Mach 0.90 / 0.85
Payload: 3t / 2.9t
Range: 7,000 nm / 5,800 nm
Cieling: 51,000 ft / 51,000 ft
Fuselage Length: 30.41m / 29.4m
Wingspan: 30.36m / 28.5m
Cabin Width: 8ft 6"
Cabin Height: 6ft 5"
Powerplant: Rolls-Royce BR725 (Thrust 17,000 pounds)
- No leading edge high-lift devices
- Enclosed flap tracks
- Fly-by-wire
- New oval fuselage shape
- Wing sweep 36° (27° on the G550)
GA seem to be talking about a price of 65m but .. word in the hangar is that in reality there won't be much change from 70m.
Anyone with reports on flight-tests plus other news and info?
