Overview of the G550 An improved derivative of the Gulfstream GV (Roman numeral for five), the G550 first flew in 2001 and to date, Gulfstream has sold over 600 units. They have been sold to celebrities, companies, business executives, governments and militaries. Usually the aircraft are used for luxurious transport. However, the aircraft has also seen many orders from governments and militaries for VIP transport as well.
Gulfstream has even developed a version that can be used for electronic warfare, named the EA-37B Compass Call. This aircraft has nearly zero resemblance to the extravagant executive jet that it's based on, and it's a machine built for fighting rather than comfort.
The civilian aircraft is no longer in active production being replaced by the Gulfstream GVII family specifically the G600. Ten EA-37Bs are currently being produced for the US Air Force with two conversion orders from the Italian Air Force.
