The Gulfstream G400 is the next development after Gulfstream's G300. It is slightly longer by about four feet, and can accommodate 8 to 12 passengers comfortably. With an update in engines allowing longer range, plus the extra space Gulfstream delivered another instant success to their growing fleet.

Cabin

The G400’s cabin is typically divided into three sections so that travelers may enjoy fully reclining club seating, take a nap on the divan, have a meal in the dining area, or participate in a conference at their whim. Seating in the stand-up cabin may be rearranged to hold as many as 18 passengers. The G400 also offers a DVD entertainment system, a large, fully-equipped galley, and a full-width lavatory, which may even include a shower in some aircraft. A total of 169 cubic feet of available baggage area is accessible during flight.

Flight deck

The G400 and G300 flight decks feature the fully integrated Honeywell SPZ-8400 avionics system, which is compatible with navigational options, including the Honeywell 2020 Head Up Display (HUD) and the industry-exclusive, FAA-certified Gulfstream Enhanced Vision System™ (EVS). The EVS significantly enhances a pilot's situational awareness in fog and darkness and allows the aircraft to land safely in low-visibility conditions, thereby addressing many of the issues raised in the FAA's Safer Skies Initiative.

Engines

The G400 has an intercontinental range, facilitated by two Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8 engines. These upgraded engines give the aircraft improved fuel efficiency and lower noise levels than its predecessor. The G400 also has a higher maximum takeoff weight and better performance on hot days or at high altitude airfields.
