Gulfstream G800
G800 has a range of 8000 NM and its cabin is 8 feet shorter then Global 7500. Global 7500 has a range of 7700 NM. It looks like Gulfstream is struggling to box in Global 7500. For 300NM gain you get shorter aircraft. Gulfstream took G650ER fuselage and slapped on G700 engine and wings. I wonder if Bombardier and GE can improve on passport fuel burn and gain the 300NM distance without too much expense. Maybe have an option for AUX fuel tank.
