In early December, Gulfstream Aerospace manufactured its 1,000th aircraft wing since bringing production to its Savannah-based manufacturing facility in 2012. All wings for the Gulfstream G800, Gulfstream G700, Gulfstream G650ER, Gulfstream G600, Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G400 are produced at Gulfstream’s headquarters in Savannah. The 1,000th wing shipset will be installed on a G600.
“The production of the 1,000th wing at our headquarters in Savannah is a testament to how advanced our technology, production and design processes have become with the help of the industry’s most talented workforce,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “Thanks to the investments made across the business, the enhanced operational efficiency and flexibility of our in-house manufacturing facilities ensure we continue to deliver the utmost in quality and innovation when creating and delivering the world’s finest aviation experience.”
Building on the innovations introduced with the G650, Gulfstream developed its next-generation fleet with manufacturing and design commonalities, along with purpose-built production facilities, resulting in new standards of precision manufacturing. In 2022, Gulfstream announced the expansion of its wing production facility as well as an expansion of G600, G500 and G400 manufacturing to meet growing customer demand.
