Gulfstream GII created the ideal transcontinental-range jet that is among the best in its class. After manufacturing the original Gulfstream I turboprop executive jet, Gulfstream completely tore it apart and started from the ground up. The G-II was introduced in 1965, completely altered and enhanced. The first GII entered service on Jan. 6, 1968, when it was delivered to National Distillers & Chemical, which had also owned a Gulfstream I (GI). The GII could accommodate 19 passengers and three crew members. It could take off from a 4,300-foot runway, reach speeds of up to Mach 0.85 and an altitude of 39,000 feet that was later increased to 45,000 feet. The GII could fly 2,700 nautical miles nonstop and required only 3,500 feet of runway to land.
The G-II is powered by two Rolls-Royce Spey Mk 511-8 engines, each rated at 11,400 lbs of thrust. A large powerhouse is needed to complete the G- II’s transcontinental range capabilities. The inspection interval is 8,000 hours.
The cabin of the G-II remains one of the roomiest available in the long-range executive jet class, even compared with more recent models. It stand-up cabin, measures 6.1 feet, a width of 7.3 feet and a generous length of 33.9 feet. This space comes in a variety of configurations, namely the standard executive arrangement. The club/divan/individual combo seats 10-14 passengers comfortably. Amenities include a large galley, entertainment center, and a full-sized lavatory.
The Gulfstream II SP is comparable to the Gulfstream II with a few modern updates. The Gulfstream II SP includes state-of-the-art avionics, a full lavatory, galley, accessible baggage compartment, television, cd stereo system, and an air phone.
