GULFSTREAM G550
Aircraft Summary
The Gulfstream G550 is a twin-engine business jet. The aircraft is capable of transporting up to 16 passengers.
History and Features
The G550 with improved engines received its FAA type certificate on August 14, 2003. In 2014, Gulfstream looked at a re-engine with the Rolls-Royce Pearl BR700 development announced in May 2018 for the new Global Express 5500 and 6500 variants but preferred the BR725-powered, 7,500 nmi G650.[6] The 500th Gulfstream G550 aircraft was delivered in May 2015.
As it is replaced by the $54.5 million Gulfstream G600 with a lower 6,200 nmi range but with a better cabin and cockpit, faster long range cruise and lower fuel burn, it could leave production in 2019. Deliveries went from 50 aircraft in 2011 to 19 in 2016 and with 40 units for sale in a fleet of 540.
Compared to the Gulfstream V, drag reduction details boost range by 250 nmi (460 km) and increase fuel efficiency. MTOW is increased by 500 lb and takeoff performance is enhanced. A seventh pair of windows is added and the entry door is moved 2 ft. forward to increase usable cabin length.
Aircraft of similar role, configuration and era are: Airbus Corporate Jets, Boeing Business Jet, Bombardier Global Express, Dassault Falcon 7X, Dassault Falcon 8X.
