How much runway does a G650 need to land?

Large Jets Some need a runway as long as 6,800ft, like the Challenger 850, while others only need a mere 4,500ft – a good example is the Gulfstream G650. Even larger jets can have quite a difference in performance, between them, which is one of the reasons the runways lengths vary so much.
