Description
The G550 (a variant of the Gulfstream V) was released to the market in 2003, and has excellent runway performance. Range is increased to 6,750 nautical miles (12,500 km). The Gulfstream 550 has the longest range in this class. Arguably the G550 has the best avionics with the PlaneView cockpit, (which consists of 4 Honeywell DU-1310 EFIS screens, and a Gulfstream-designed cursor control system), and an optional Enhanced Vision System (EVS), plus an infrared camera that displays an image of the view in front of the camera on a head up display. The EVS permits the aircraft to land in lower-visibility instrument meteorological conditions than a non-EVS-equipped aircraft. This aircraft may be distinguished from the legacy Gulfstream V by a seventh passenger window on both sides of the aircraft, and by the square outflow valve on the aircraft right side as compared to the circular one on the GV. More than 182 Gulfstream G550 aircraft have been produced as of 2008. Gulfstream support is frequently top of market surveys amongst operators.
