The Gulfstream G550 is a hugely popular aircraft, one of the finest choices for business charter and private flights.
Produced by the General Dynamics Gulfstream Aerospace group in Georgia, US, this is a classic example of top-quality business aviation product.
It is an ultra-long-range business jet, powered by completely new and improved Rolls Royce BF 700-710-C4-11 turbofan engines enabling it to fly distances of up to 6,700 NM at cruising speeds of 480 knots.
