The Gulfstream 200 was one of the first private jets in the Gulfstream series, jets that would become top competitors in the super-midsize category. This jet continues to compete today with the more recent G450 and G550. The Gulfstream 200 has everything that could be desired in a private jet: great range, cabin size, and speed. It’s the ideal jet for completing long-range missions rapidly and comfortably.

Cabin

The cabin of the Gulfstream 200 can be configured to hold anywhere between eight and nineteen seats. Optional additions include a radio phone, entertainment systems, and interior design upgrades. There are power outlets available for any piece of office equipment in addition to an outlet for each passenger. There is 125 cubic feet of baggage space available in an external compartment, able to contain up to 2,400 pounds. An added bonus of the Gulfstream 200, having been designed in the extreme temperatures of Israel, is its capacity to maintain a cool cabin. According to Galaxy Aircraft Corp, the Gulfstream 200 can cool the cabin to 75ºF on a 113ºF day. Both the cabin and the cockpit have separate climate controls, and the air in the temperature control system continually provides the passengers with fresh air instead of re-circulated air.

Flight deck

Galaxy Aerospace Corp selected the Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite for the Gulfstream 200’s glass cockpit. A central EICAS (Engine Indicator and Crew Alert System) screen is surrounded by four smaller screens that display flight and systems information. Standard devices include dual ARINC 429 Pro Line Communication/Navigation/Identification radios with dual DMEs and ADEs, a single AlliedSignal GNS-X/EX FMS (Flight Management System), a WXR-840 solid-state weather radar diagnostic computer, digital autopilot, digital air data and attitude/heading reference system. Practically any additional equipment can be added if desired.

Engines

Two Pratt & Whitney PW306A engines power the Gulfstream 200, each flat-rated to 6,040 pounds of thrust. These engines are very similar to the PW305 engines used successfully on the Learjet 60 and the Hawker 1000. They have the same high standards of performance but put out 785 more pounds of thrust.
