This is the speed at which drag is minimised. For jet aircraft, "long-range cruise" speed (LRC) is defined as the speed which gives 99% of the maximum range, for a given weight. This results in a 3–5% increase in speed. [8] It is also a more stable speed than maximum range speed, so gives less autothrottle movement. [9]
It remains the largest business jet by Cessna. ... A M0.79 long range cruise would burn 1,820 lb (830 kg) per hour at a 451 kn (835 km/h) true airspeed for a 38,001 ...
The aircraft's payload was planned to be 1,200 or 400 lb (540 or 180 kg) with full fuel, based on an expectation of owners often flying long trips solo. [24] Range was targeted for 1,100 nmi (2,037 km) and maximum cruise speed for 300 kn (556 km/h). [24]
Initial long-range cruise altitude is FL 400-410, first hour fuel burn is 4,500–5,000 lb (2,000–2,300 kg) decreasing for the second hour to 3,000 and 2,400 lb (1,400 and 1,100 kg) for the last hour. Flight hourly budget is $700-950 for engine reserves, $250 for parts and 2.5 maintenance hours.
Most long-range cruise operations are conducted at the flight condition that provides 99 percent of the absolute maximum specific range. The advantage of such operation is that one percent of the range is traded for three to five percent higher cruise speed. [3]
The Gulfstream G650 is a large business jet produced by Gulfstream Aerospace. [3] The model is designated Gulfstream GVI in its type certificate. [4] The aircraft can be configured to carry from 11 to 18 passengers over a range of 7,000 nautical miles [nmi] (13,000 km; 8,100 mi) at a top speed of Mach 0.925 (530.6 kn; 982.7 km/h; 610.6 mph).
The Learjet 55 "Longhorn" is an American business jet manufactured by Learjet. ... Long-range version of the Learjet 55C, ... Cruise speed: 462 mph (744 km/h, 402 kn) ...
The Global 7500 has a range of 7,700 nmi (14,300 km). The Global 8000 was initially a shorter, three-zone aircraft but was updated in May 2022 as a four-zone jet similar to the Global 7500, reaching 8,000 nmi (14,800 km) and with a top speed of Mach 0.94, making it the fastest business jet and fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde.
