It boasts significant performance enhancements for its category, including the longest range (3,400 nm) and highest cruise speed (Mach .80), enabled by a new Gulfstream wing design.
The G250 features an expanded cabin and baggage capacity and introduces advanced technologies such as auto braking, auto throttles, fly-by-wire controls, a Head-Up Display (HUD), and more efficient engines.

For the second time in a week, Gulfstream rolled out a new model of business jet when the super midsize G250 taxied briskly into view of a crowd at Israel Aerospace Industries in Tel Aviv in early October. The G250, which is owned by Gulfstream, will be assembled by IAI and then flown to Gulfstream facilities in the United States for completion.

The G250 replaces the G200 in the Gulfstream lineup but is an all-new airplane with a new type certificate. The G250 shares the forward fuselage and big stand-up cabin cross section with the G200, but the new cabin is nearly two feet longer and contains two additional windows per side.
