Peregrine 600
The Peregrine 600, introduced by Gulfstream Aerospace in 2022, represents a milestone in business jet technology. Conceived as a response to growing demand for long‑range transport, the aircraft entered development shortly after the Gulfstream G700. Its first flight occurred on 14 March 2023 from Savannah, Georgia, and certification was achieved in late 2024, allowing entry into a market dominated by the Bombardier Global 7500.
Key features of the Peregrine 600 include a composite‑wing structure that reduces weight by 12 percent, coupled with Pratt & Whitney PW815 turbofan engines delivering 15,000 pound‑force thrust each. The jet cruises at Mach 0.85, covering 6,500 nautical miles with a full‑payload cabin that can accommodate up to 14 passengers in a spacious interior. Advanced avionics, featuring the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck with touchscreen controls, enhance situational awareness and reduce pilot workload.
The significance of the Peregrine 600 lies in its blend of range, efficiency, and cabin comfort, setting a new benchmark for midsize business jets. Its introduction accelerated the industry’s shift toward greener operations, as its 18‑percent lower fuel burn compared with previous Gulfstream models contributes to reduced emissions and operating costs.
