Gulfstream G-650 Ramp is Busy!

They recently had 5 planes in the air at once.  Four were on developmental flight tests, the fifth was doing a production flight test.  It's not clear what all the developmental test objectives were.  Certainly avionics and systems were being looked at, and it seems that flight controls have nearly wrapped up.  One would also assume that tweaks made recently to improve high AOA and/or single engine handling qualities are also being refined.  Hopefully the economy will cooperate and this kind of investment will pay off for the bizjet industry soon.
