The Best in Safety, Comfort, Performance and Reliability

It is no secret that for a business jet manufacturer to set the standard in business aviation, its products must deliver the best in safety, comfort, performance and reliability. And the company itself must have a strong commitment to serving and supporting its customers. The all-new Gulfstream G500 boasts a unique combination of speed, efficiency and cabin size not found in any other aircraft in the industry, and the aircraft is backed by one of the finest product support organisations in the world.

The G500 has been in the works since 2008 following close collaboration with Gulfstream’s Advanced Technology Customer Advisory Team. Customers and operators wanted a long-range aircraft with high-speed range capability, a comfortable and productive cabin environment, and unparalleled fuel efficiency. The result is the G500.

Every aspect of the all-new G500 is designed for fast flight. Heralded for its performance, cabin comfort and fuel efficiency, the G500 can fly 5,000 nm/9,260 km at Mach 0.85 or 3,800 nm/7,038 km) at Mach 0.90 and has a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925. Powered by two robust Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA engines, the G500 delivers time savings of up to an hour per flight flying at its normal cruise speed of Mach 0.90 versus Mach 0.80.

Gulfstream’s sales team, including regional vice president Jason Akovenko, whose territory includes India, is ready to provide more details on the advantages of flying so fast.

The G500’s performance starts in the flight deck with Symmetry™, the most advanced, stylish, ergonomic and intuitive flight deck in business aviation. The G500 and its sister ship, the G600, are the first civil aircraft to feature active control sidesticks (ACSs).

These industry-first ACSs provide operators enhanced safety and situational awareness over passive sticks and yokes through tactile feedback. Pilots and co-pilots can see and feel each other’s control inputs through electronic linking, which helps improve coordination in the cockpit.

Any movement of the control stick by the flying pilot or autopilot can be seen and felt by the non-flying pilot through the opposite sidestick. The G500’s highly redundant fly-by-wire system ensures passengers experience the smoothest, safest ride and unprecedented performance.

Low visibility? No problem. The flight deck also features a nextgeneration Enhanced Vision System for seeing clearly, even in foggy or dark conditions and adverse weather.

To recognise the full benefits of business aviation, long-range jet travel needs to be as comfortable as it is customisable. In the G500, endless layouts are possible with options for up to three distinct living areas to create everything from a fully functioning office or conference room, to a top-notch entertainment space. Select layouts, all complete with large seats and a wide aisle, can accommodate beds for up to eight passengers.

The innovative 41.5-foot/12.65-metre cabin is engineered to impress. Choose a forward or aft galley and even a private stateroom. In the most comfortable cabin of any purpose-built business jet, you’re in control. Tailor every aspect of the cabin to your unique style, from handmade carpets and fabrics stitched in-house to leathers of any color and exotic woods sourced from around the world.

Don’t just design the interior. Gulfstream’s Cabin Management System allows passengers to create a unique mood every flight by adjusting lighting, window shades, temperature and entertainment, all from personal touch-screen devices.

Poised to enter service in late 2017, the G500 not only boasts the performance to save you hours per year in flight time but is also outfitted with the latest communication equipment and high-speed media systems. Whether en route to closing a deal or finalizing details for a vacation, your connectivity should be as fast as you are. Never miss a beat in your cabin outfitted with Jet ConneX, the highspeed Ka-band broadband service.

No other business aircraft manufacturer innovates like Gulfstream. The G500 stretches the limits of high-speed travel. It’s the only jet in its class to combine incredible speed with significant range. Just another way Gulfstream creates and delivers the world’s finest aviation experience.
