Gulfstream G550

The G550 is a Gulfstream V with some significant improvements. Introduced in 2002, as part of Gulfstream’s product line transformation, the G550 is powered by two Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofan engines and can travel non-stop for 6,750 nautical miles with speeds up to Mach 0.885. The cabin is a GIV cabin that has been stretched 5 feet to make room for a crew rest area. The avionics suite is Honeywell’s PlaneView cockpit, an outgrowth of their Primus Epic architecture. The G550 has improvements in aerodynamics leading to reduced fuel burns compared to the GV. The G550 gets the head-up display and enhanced vision system as a standard system.
