Fwd: Lower cabin altitude
Standard BBJ inside the cabin is meters
I can confirm our BBJ has the lower pressure kit installed. 1,981 meters
The New Boeing 787 is 1,828 meters.
Information below comes from the Gulfstream web site.
The G650ER cabin is replenished with 100 percent fresh air every two minutes. And with the lowest cabin altitude in the class, matched only by its sister ship, the Gulfstream G650, passenger heart and lungs can more easily oxygenate the blood, which reduces fatigue and ensures a more alert and refreshed arrival many time zones later. At a cruise altitude of 45,000 feet/13,716 meters, a G650ER cabin is pressurized to an altitude of 4,060 feet/1,237 meters. That cabin altitude is almost two times lower than commercial airlines and significantly better than any non-Gulfstream aircraft in the large-cabin class.
A side note: the G-650ER flies 6-12 percent faster than the BBJ.
Max range BBJ 10,926 Kilometers
Maximum range G650ER 13,890 Kilometers
The only other large jet to get us below 6000 feet cabin altitude is the New Boeing 787.
