    History

    The G550 was developed from the original Gulfstream V and released to the market in 2003. It has increased performance and range which increased to 6,750 nautical miles which was improved by making the jet more aerodynamic. The Gulfstream 550 has the longest flight range in its class and one of the most advanced cockpits which consists of 4 Honeywell DU-1310 EFIS screens, a Gulfstream-designed cursor control system, and an Enhanced Vision System which permits the aircraft to land in lower-visibility than other jets. This private jet may be distinguished from the legacy Gulfstream V by a seventh passenger window on both sides of the aircraft. More than 460 Gulfstream G550 are now in production.
