The Gulfstream GV is the world's first ultra-long range business jet. The Gulfstream GV features the most sophisticated technology available to support the rigorous demands of intercontinental missions. From the unique engine design and highly advanced communications capabilities to the cabin that offers maximum passenger comfort and flexibility, the Gulfstream GV continues the Gulfstream legacy of innovation and high quality. The Gulfstream V's ability to travel nonstop for 6,500 nautical miles at speeds up to Mach 0.885 sets the benchmark for world travel.

Passengers: 8-19

Lavatory: Full Enclosed

Maximum Speed: 950 km/h

Maximum Altitude: 51,000 ft.

Range: 6,500nm (default)

Cabin Size: 7’4” (width) x 50’1” (length) x 6’2” (height)

Baggage Capacity: 226 cu. ft. (default)

The 1,669 cubic foot cabin usually seats 15 passengers, but can be configured to hold more.  The stand-up (6.1 feet high) cabin is 50.1 feet long and is usually partitioned into three separate areas.  Noise levels are uniformly low throughout the cabin.  An external baggage compartment can hold 226 cubic feet of baggage, or a total of 2,500 pounds.  Access is available to this compartment in-flight when flying at or above 40,000 feet.  Small additional storage compartments are located under each seat.

Standard cabin amenities include a full-sized galley, equipped for hot and cold food preparation; a sink with running water; power outlets for office equipment; fold-out work tables; and separate lavatories for the passengers and the crew.  Satellite TV, multi-screen entertainment systems, and phones for each seat are available as upgrades.  If the cabin air feels too dry, a AirData/LeBozec humidifier can be added as well, which increases the cabin humidity be injecting water into the Environmental Control System (ECS) as air cycles through.

The cockpit’s avionics system is built around the Honeywell SPX-8500 suite.  One of its optional features is rather notable: a HUD and Kollsman/Opgal Enhanced Vision System (ECS) that gives the Gulfstream V the ability to land in harsh conditions with limited or no visibility.  A Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) sensor records light concealed by rain or fog and creates a display in the cockpit of the runway.  The display is detailed enough to show even the reflective stripes on the runway.

Two BMW/Rolls-Royce BR710-48 engines, flat-rated to 14,750 pounds of thrust each, provide the power for the Gulfstream GV.  The engines were designed to be fuel-efficient and reliable.  All engine functions are automatically controlled by the dual-channel FADEC.
