Gulfstream V Overview

The need for a longer range Gulfstream surfaced with the capability of flying from New York to Tokyo non-stop or 6500 nautical miles. The Gulfstream GV first flew on November 28, 1995. The GV can fly up to Mach 0.90 and at altitudes of 51,000 feet (15,545 meters) and covers 6,500 nautical miles (12,038 kilometers. Gulfstream added a heads-up display to the GV’s cockpit and wired the cabin as a complete computerized office. The GV typically accommodates four crew members (with a crew rest area) and 14 passengers in an executive configuration. The GV entered into service in June 1997. To date more than 190 GVs were delivered.
