The Gulfstream factory in Savanna, Georgia, continues to crank out large numbers of luxurious business jets. Only nine years after the introduction of the G450, Gulfstream has delivered the 300th unit of this $40 million airplane, which provides great speeds, long legs, a large comfortable cabin and high-tech capabilities in the cockpit as well as the cabin.
The G450 is derivative of the GIV, which was the first business jet to incorporate a primary flight display. Building on the PFD capabilities of the GIV, the G450 was one of the first airplanes to incorporate synthetic vision technology in 2008. The current version of the G450 is equipped with what Gulfstream has branded the PlaneView flight deck, which is built around Honeywell’s Primus Epic avionics suite.
