湾流G700使用可持续航空燃料创下自萨凡纳到东京的速度新高
中国石化新闻网讯 据世界能源网5月26日发布消息,湾流航空航天公司5月22日宣布,全新的湾流G700使用可持续航空燃料(SAF),以0.89马赫的平均速度从佐治亚州萨凡纳飞往日本东京,创下了速度新高。
这次飞行时长13小时,标志着G700客机首次访问日本。
这是在该公司最近达到使用可持续航空燃料飞行200多万海里的里程碑时实现的。

湾流总裁Mark Burns表示:“我们正在为可持续的未来进行创新,在过去十年中我们一直是可持续航空燃料使用的领导者。”“我们最新的城市间飞行速度进一步展示了我们对下一代机组的投资,以及我们对行业做出的至2034年通过15年内将二氧化碳排放量减少40%的承诺。”
湾流公司是第一家签署世界经济论坛“清洁天空明日联盟”的《2030年减排声明》的公务机制造商,该声明旨在加快可持续航空燃料技术的供应和使用,到2030年,达到全球喷气航空燃料供应占比10%。
该公司也是第一家在2022年12月使用100%SAF的原始设备制造商(OEM)。
这次飞行使用的是与罗尔斯·罗伊斯(Rolls-Royce)合作的BR725发动机。
最近,湾流公司成为第一家获得美国商业航空协会可持续飞行部门认证的原始设备制造商,该认证涵盖四个可用类别:飞行、运营、地面支持和基础设施。
到目前为止,湾流公司已经购买了超过200万加仑的可持续航空燃料。
5月,在瑞士日内瓦举行的欧洲商业航空会议与展览会(EBACE2023)上,湾流公司将展示G700系列飞机以及G280、G500、G600、G650ER和G800系列飞机,所有出入境机组飞机均为碳中和的飞机。

Gulfstream G700 sets speed record from Savannah to Tokyo on SAF
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced May 22 the all-new Gulfstream G700 set a speed record using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), traveling from Savannah, Georgia, to Tokyo, Japan, at an average speed of Mach 0.89.
The flight, recorded at 13 hours, marked the G700’s first visit to Japan.
This record was achieved as the company recently reached a milestone of more than 2 million nautical miles flown on SAF blends.
“We are innovating for a sustainable future and have been a leader in SAF use over the past decade,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream. “Our latest city pair speed record further showcases the investments we are making in our next-generation fleet, as well as the commitment we’ve made to the industry to reduce our carbon-dioxide emissions by 40 percent over a 15-year span, leading into 2034.”
Gulfstream was the first business-aircraft manufacturer to sign the World Economic Forum’s Clean Skies for Tomorrow 2030 Ambition Statement, a declaration of intent to accelerate the supply and use of SAF technologies to reach 10 percent of global jet-aviation fuel supply by 2030.
The company was also the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to fly on 100 percent SAF in December 2022.
The flight took place on a Gulfstream G650 in partnership with Rolls-Royce on the BR725 engine.
Recently, Gulfstream was the first OEM to receive National Business Aviation Association Sustainable Flight Department Accreditations in all four available categories: flight, operations, ground support and infrastructure.
To date, Gulfstream has purchased more than 2 million gallons of SAF.
Gulfstream is showcasing the G700—alongside the G280, G500, G600, G650ER and G800—in May at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2023) in Geneva, Switzerland, with all inbound and outbound fleet aircraft flying carbon neutral.
