Thales delivers flight controls on Gulfstream G650ER

Thales have once again been selected by Gulfstream to deliver fly-by-wire flight control systems on the G650ER unveiled in May. This follows the unveiling of the G500 and G600 programmes on October 14th, which will also feature Thales fly-by-wire flight controls. The G650ER’s 7,5000 nautical miles range (13,890 kilometers), opens up more destination pairs than ever before for a business jet, including New York to Hong Kong or Los Angeles to Delhi. This requires flight controls that ensure superior performance and safety whilst reducing weight and optimising volume, therefore reducing fuel consumption. All Thales designed flight controls on Gulfstream jets have been designed specifically with these goals in mind.
