Gulfstream G550

The Gulfstream G550 is an American long-range business jet produced by the Gulfstream Aerospace unit of General Dynamics in Savannah, Georgia, with the certification designation GV-SP. It improved on the earlier Gulfstream V with drag reduction that added about 250 nautical miles of range, a higher takeoff weight, a seventh pair of cabin windows and the PlaneView flight deck. The first production aircraft flew on 18 July 2002 and the FAA type certificate followed on 14 August 2003. Two Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofans power it. The United States military uses the design as the C-37B and the EA-37B Compass Call, and Israel, Italy, Singapore and Australia operate special-mission versions. Gulfstream stopped selling the G550 in June 2021 after building more than 600, and ended production in July 2021.
