Gulfstream Jets: An Overview

Gulfstream are producers of high quality civil aircraft. Currently they have eight aircraft in their lineup, the G150, G200, G250, G350, G450, G500, G550, and G650. Gulfstream brings the latest in technology to all their aircraft, including a “glass cockpit”, which replaces most standard avionics with integrated display panels for easier to read information. From the G250 up, Gulfstream’s Planeview flight deck is incorporated into all their cockpits. The planeview system enhances safety by reducing pilot workload, and greatly improves situation awareness. The EVS, or Enhanced Vision System, allows pilots an excellent view of surrounding terrain, runways, taxiways, and runway markings, in both bad weather and at night.

Gulfstream cabins are low noise, and have a 100 percent fresh air system to reduce fatigue. This is especially important if you choose their G550 or G650 models with ranges of 6750nm, and 7000nm respectively. All Gulfstreams G250 and up have a long range cruise speed of 0.8 mach, making them perfect for the business traveler who lives and dies by the clock.

Passenger accommodations for all models are plush and comfortable, with large leather divans, ergonomic seating, and entertainment systems that rival the best hotels. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light, and not feeling like your trapped in a cave. An added option of Gulfstream’s BBML(Broad Band Multi Link) will allow for a fast internet connection, for those clients the can’t let a thing like flying halfway around the world slow down their work, or interrupt their YouTube addiction.

When purchasing one of these magnificent crafts you would do well to engage a private broker who can help you find the right model for your needs. Not all Gulfstreams are the same. Some are meant for individuals and small parties, and some were created or the purpose of smaller, niche airlines. Brokers will work with you to refine requirements and locate an aircraft that fits the bill. They also work diligently to negotiate terms both with the seller and insurance companies.
