Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation continues to expand its fleet of business jets, with the introduction of eight new aircraft over the past 17 years. The current lineup includes the G800, G700, G650, G650E, G600, G500, G400, and G280.
The Gulfstream G500 was introduced in 2014 and became available in 2018. It features a versatile cabin design that can accommodate up to 19 passengers and includes eight sleeping units. “Passengers can control the air conditioning, temperature, entertainment systems and communication,” according to Gulfstream Aerospace.
The Gulfstream G600 was announced in October 2014 and received certification for steep landings from the Federal Aviation Authority in May 2024. This allows it to land at airports with shorter runways. The aircraft’s exterior is made from aluminum alloys and composites and is powered by two engines providing 15,000 pounds of thrust each. It can fit up to 19 passengers with a cabin length of 45.2 feet.
The Gulfstream G650 is powered by two Rolls-Royce BR725 turbofans and can carry between 11-18 passengers. Its flight deck features Honeywell Primus Epic avionics with advanced technology such as synthetic vision displays and a top-of-the-line flight management system.
The newer Gulfstream models include the G700 and the recently introduced G800. The G700 offers improvements such as increased length by ten feet compared to its predecessor, while maintaining a heavier maximum take-off weight. It also boasts enhanced passenger comfort through more aerodynamic wings for improved fuel efficiency.
“The Gulfstream 800 has an emphasis on performance, luxury and sustainability,” said Gulfstream Aerospace about their latest model which offers a range of up to 8,000 nautical miles.
These advancements reflect Gulfstream’s commitment to innovation within aviation while maintaining high standards across their fleet.
