The Gulfstream G550 is a stunning large-cabin, ultra-long range business jet. Less than two weeks after it entered service, a G550 flew nonstop from Seoul, South Korea, to Orlando, Fla., covering the 7,301 nautical-mile distance in 14.5 hours and setting a city pair record. In fact, it would go on to establish 40 city-pair records in its first five years of service. With one of the most successful and well-recognized private jet manufacturers and the leader in large-cabin jet the Gulfstream G550 has received exceptional ratings. The Gulfstream G550, is an ultra-long range, intercontinental jet that vastly improved upon its predecessor Gulfstream’s GV. It can fly faster, farther than its counterpart with more room.
Powered by enhanced Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofan engines, the G550 has a range of 6,750 nm at Mach 0.80 and a high-speed cruise capability of Mach 0.87. With its long legs, the G550 easily links Washington, D.C., with Dubai, London with Singapore and Tokyo with Paris.
The G550 is equipped with the Gulfstream PlaneView® cockpit, the most advanced flight deck in business aviation. Based on the Honeywell Primus Epic® architecture and display system, the PlaneView cockpit presents critical flight information on 14-inch liquid crystal displays arranged for easy interpretation.
The PlaneView cockpit is equipped with Gulfstream's latest avionics achievements. The first fully synchronous triple Flight Management System, the Gulfstream Signature Cursor Control Device, which improves the way that pilots interact with the PlaneView avionics; then there's the latest in Head-Up Display technology integrated with the next-generation Gulfstream Enhanced Vision System II™, which captures pictures of the environment and presents the pilot with a clear picture of runway markings, taxiways and surrounding terrain at night or in the worst weather conditions. Gulfstream was the first business jet manufacturer to certify an optional synthetic vision system on the G550. The optional Synthetic Vision - Primary Flight Display adds to the enhanced situational awareness even in zero visibility conditions.
With improved cabin space the G550 more space-efficient and longer, measuring 42.6 ft. (Height is 6.2 ft and width is 7.3 ft max.) The main entry door was strategically moved two feet forward and the jet employs a new, smaller avionics system, both of which lend 58 more cubic feet of usable cabin space. The forward galley layout adds six feet in length, while the aft galley configuration adds five. Two additional windows are integrated as a result. While the cabin can carry 19 passengers, it is normally configured for eight to ten in an executive arrangement. Amenities include a full lavatory with shower, a conference/dining room, and/or multiple work stations, and a crew rest area.
The G550 is a lot of value for this world-class airplane with its 6,750-nm range, its best-in-class cockpit, its advanced technology, its superb warranty, and Gulfstream's top-rated customer support network that stands ready to render assistance on six continents.
