Gulfstream G550

Gulfstream G550

The Gulfstream G550 is the best choice for long range business trips where luxury and speed are an absolute necessity. Driven by the prestigious Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofan engines, the G550 can fly up to 7,767 miles at a top speed of Mach 0.87. The aircraft has an unparalleled international range that set 40 city-pair records during its first few service years.

The G550 is equipped with the classic Gulfstream Planeview cockpit that boasts the most technologically advanced flight deck in business class aircraft. The display system includes 14 in LCD screens displaying information that is arranged to be easily viewable for flight-critical statistics. One of the greatest attributes of the Planeview cockpit is the extremely advanced avionic technology. It includes the completely synchronous triple FMS (short for Flight Management System), the custom Gulfstream CCD (short for Cursor Control Device) which helps the pilot interact with the control system for the Planeview electronics cockpit. One of the newest features is the updated HUD (short for Heads-Up Display) with the advanced EVS II (which is short for Enhanced Vision System). This will take pictures of the surrounding environment and show the pilot on the LCD display. This can be vital for smooth landings since the technology can be used to take pictures of the taxiways and runway markings before even touching the ground. Even when there is zero visibility, the G550 will still have complete vision beyond the limitations of human eyes.

Unless you are flying the plane yourself, the most important feature will be the most used; the cabin joins luxury comfort with productive usability. With 3 separate temperature areas, space for up to 18 passengers, and even distinct living areas, the G550 will feel like a home away from home. In today’s world communication is vital at all times and the Gulfstream will only aid in this instead of hinder like traditional flight options. Satellite communications, LAN (short for local area network), and even an optional BBML (which is short for Broad Band Multi Link) are all among the different ways to communicate with others while in the air. The G550 is considered the most prestigious crafts in aviation and has won the Robert J. Collier trophy upon its introduction into use.
