Gulfstream G500 N749CP takes the summer lead in recorded ground speed
The jet was recorded at 551 knots and 45,000 feet, topping the previous summer best for its type in this collection.
N749CP took the summer ground-speed lead for its type in this collection on June 10, 2026, with a recorded reading of 551 knots. The aircraft database lists it as a Gulfstream G500. The same observation recorded an altitude of 45,000 feet.
The previous best was 549.7 knots in the comparison beginning June 1, 2026. That ranking covers only retained reports of the G500 during that period. Ground speed includes the effect of wind, so the reading does not establish an airspeed or a worldwide performance record.
