Today, time is money. If you are a businessman trying to fly from point A to point B, you might want to try the latest jets in the aviation industry. The Falcon 7X, Cessna Citation X, Gulf Stream G550 are the fastest world class jets that offers the real jet speed.
By now, you are probably wondering how fast these airplanes are?The planes can reach following speeds:
Falcon : 0.9 Mach
Cessna Citation X : 0.92 Mach
Gulfstream : 673 miles per hour
Most of these are higher than any average airliner flying a huge airbus.
Randy Brandoff, V.P. of Marquis Jet agrees:
A lot of it comes down to time, access and comfort.
Almost all of these planes are equipped with wireless LAN, DVD players, and other luxury items you can think of.
According to Cessna, the Citation X is the largest, longest and fastestaircraft made by the company.
The Citation X has a high speed cruise capability. This version of Cessna can save about a whole hour of flight time from Los Angeles to NYC under normal conditions.
So much for the good old Cessna. The Falcon on the other hand provides:
* cabin comfort for business people. If I was a businessman investing in private jet, this would be my main criteria.
* comes with a wide body which means more room.
* High speed of 5,950 nautical miles.
The Gulfstream G550 is a whole different story. It can fly at a even higher speed of 6,750 nautical miles: which is way higher than the Falcon X. However, it ain’t cheap to own one of these jets. The G550 for example is priced at $36 million.
So from the previous comparison, we can see that G550 is the king of corporate planes and the real deal. I would definitely settle for the G550 not only for speed, but also for looks. After all, looks go along with time and money in the corporate world.
