Gulfstream GV

Gulfstream Aerospace produced the GV from 1997 through 2002. The aircraft was developed to compete with the Bombardier Global Express. It was the first purpose-designed ultra-long-range twin-engine jet in the Gulfstream lineup.

The Gulfstream GV is an ultra long range twin-engine jet first certified in 1997. It carries up to 19 passengers across a 6,500-nautical-mile range at 487 knots. Two Rolls-Royce BR710-A1-10 engines produce 14,750 lbf each. Maximum takeoff weight is 90,500 lbs and service ceiling is 51,000 feet. 191 aircraft were built between 1997 and 2002.

When the Gulfstream GV debuted in July 1997, no business jet had flown as far. It set 36 climb, altitude, and time records in its first two months, and the aircraft defined what ultra-long-range meant in private aviation, with a 6,500 nm range at a 487 ktas cruise speed.

The two Rolls-Royce BR710-A1-10 engines each produce 14,750 lbf. They power the GV to a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, above virtually all commercial traffic and most weather systems, at a climb rate of 4,400 fpm and a maximum takeoff weight of 90,500 lbs.

Maximum cabin pressure differential is 10.2 psi, holding a cabin altitude equivalent to 5,960 feet at cruise while the cabin stays at 62 dBA. The 50.1 x 7.3 x 6.2 ft cabin seats up to 19 passengers with 226 cubic feet of baggage capacity. Engine time between overhaul is 8,000 hours per Hogani Jet.

The GV was designed from the outset for intercontinental range, flying nonstop on routes that had previously required a fuel stop. A total of 191 aircraft were produced between 1997 and 2002. The US military and government operate the GV under the designation C-37A, and fuel burn is 500 gallons per hour at cruise per Hogani Jet operating data.

The Gulfstream G550 is the direct successor to the GV. It shares the same airframe and fuselage cross-section. The engines, avionics, and fuel efficiency are the key differences.

For charter passengers, the cabin experience is similar on both aircraft. The G550 burns 62 fewer gallons per hour, a 12 percent efficiency gain. Its PlaneView avionics suite and fly-by-wire controls are meaningfully more modern. The GV is available at a lower rate tier ($8,000-10,000 vs $9,000-13,000).

The Gulfstream GV seats up to 19 passengers. Standard charter configurations run 12 to 16.

• Three separate cabin zones: forward work area, center dining and conference, aft rest zone.
• Full-size galley with hot-and-cold service; fold-out worktables at each seat.
• Separate passenger and crew lavatories are standard.
• Multimedia entertainment systems and power outlets at each seat.
• 226 cubic feet of pressurized baggage; accessible from the ground.
• Cabin noise at 62 dBa; a quiet environment for long intercontinental segments.

The Gulfstream GV cabin is 50.1 feet long, 7.3 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 5,960-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. The 10.2 psi maximum differential maintains a sea-level cabin to 29,200 feet. The aircraft seats up to 19 passengers with 226 cubic feet of pressurized baggage capacity.

The 6,500 nm range enables true intercontinental routing. New York to London and New York to Paris are straightforward sectors. Chicago to Tokyo (approximately 6,271 nm) is within range. Rome to Los Angeles (approximately 5,800 nm) is within range.

The cost to charter a Gulfstream GV is typically $8,000 to $10,000 per flight hour. New York to London one-way rental runs approximately $85,000 to $105,000. Chicago to Tokyo one-way charter price is approximately $220,000 to $280,000. Final all-in cost depends on operator, routing, positioning, and season. Fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate; landing fees, taxes, and repositioning are billed separately.

At the $8,000-10,000 rate tier, the GV is the entry point into the Gulfstream ULR category. The G550 is the upgraded successor at a higher rate. The Global Express competed with the GV when both were in production.

Every Gulfstream GV charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carrier holding full operational control of the flight. Each operator's certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before Hogani Jets coordinates a booking. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.

The Gulfstream GV carries Honeywell SPZ-8500 6-tube EFIS avionics. Mechanical backup systems and anti-skid wheel brakes are standard. Two certificated pilots and a certified flight attendant are included on all Gulfstream GV charters.

What is the difference between the Gulfstream GV and G550?

The G550 is the direct upgrade of the GV. Both share the same airframe and cabin dimensions. The G550 adds PlaneView avionics and fly-by-wire controls. Engines burn 438 vs 500 gal/hr, and range extends by 250 nm. The GV is available at a lower rate tier.

How many passengers can the Gulfstream GV carry?

The Gulfstream GV seats up to 19 passengers. Standard charter configurations run 12 to 16 across three cabin zones.

What records did the Gulfstream GV set?

The GV set 36 climb, altitude, and time records in its first two months after debuting in July 1997. It was the world's best-selling ultra-long-range business jet at the time.

Can the Gulfstream GV fly Chicago to Tokyo nonstop?

Yes. Chicago to Tokyo is approximately 6,271 nautical miles, which is within the Gulfstream GV's 6,500 nm range. At a cruise speed of 487 ktas, the aircraft covers that distance in roughly 13 hours. Rome to Los Angeles is also within nonstop reach.

Is the Gulfstream GV still in production?

No. The Gulfstream GV was produced from 1997 to 2002. The Gulfstream G550 succeeded it in 2003. 191 aircraft were built; an active charter fleet remains in service.
