The Collier Selection Committee, comprised of 30 individuals from throughout the aviation and aerospace industry, met yesterday to hear presentations from each nominee and vote. The G650 was […]

In the era of the globe-girding, ultra-long-range business jet it’s a record that was sure to fall at some point. Gulfstream Aerospace took the honors recently by setting two unique city-pair speed records, making just one stop for fuel in between. A Gulfstream G650ER took off from White Plains, New York, with three passengers and […]

Pratt & Whitney Canada has achieved type certification for its new PurePower PW814GA and PW815GA engines, which will power the G500 and G600 clean-sheet, fly-by-wire business jets launched by Gulfstream about four months ago.

A little more than two years after Gulfstream achieved certification for the ultra-long-range G650, an airplane that held the crown as the fastest civilian airplane in the world until Cessna’s Citation X+ reclaimed the spot this year, the Savannah, Georgia-based company announced it has delivered the 100th airplane in the series. That is a very […]

That launch, by Flynn and General Dynamics CEO […]

Gulfstream this morning revealed the company’s future direction with the official unveiling of a new family of technologically sophisticated business jets, the clean-sheet G500 and G600 models.

Gulfstream added a new jet to its fleet of certified airplanes this week after the FAA gave the green light to the ultra-long-range Gulfstream G650ER.
