Gulfstream G150

G150 Overview

The G150® is quickly becoming a favorite in the mid-size market. With the longest range at the fastest speed, an advanced avionics suite, and the most comfortable cabin, the G150 provides the most value in its class.

Through the use of high thrust, fuel-efficient Honeywell TFE731-40AR engines, combined with numerous aerodynamic improvements, the Gulfstream G150 is the fastest mid-sized business aircraft in the world today. The G150 started breaking speed records even before it went into service. A G150 test aircraft established a city-pair speed record on a flight from Tel Aviv to Geneva.

Turning to the cockpit, Gulfstream's avionics and research staff improved the Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 avionics system, adding some of the advanced technology inherent in the vaunted Gulfstream PlaneView® cockpit. The result was a fully integrated avionics system that enhances flight-crew performance and improves the overall level of flight safety.

Gulfstream engineers and interior designers also focused on the G150's cabin. Now with a longer, wider, more oval-shaped cabin, the G150 offers operators a choice of three seating configurations accommodating up to eight passengers. It also provides more seated shoulder room, headroom and legroom than any competing aircraft in the mid-sized category.

Many elements support the inherent value of the G150. In the six years of service, the G150 fleet boasts an enviable 99.8 percent dispatch-reliability rate. On the financial side, the G150 generates some of the lowest operating costs in the industry. The comprehensive warranty on the airplane covers its primary structures, engines, and all production components (APU, avionics, etc.) for five years. Then there's Gulfstream's award-winning worldwide product support, bolstered by a network of 3,500 fully trained professionals positioned across six continents.

The best-in-class in the mid-sized aircraft category, the G150 proudly upholds the Gulfstream tradition.

G150 Performance

The wide-cabin, high-speed Gulfstream G150® is the fastest mid-size business jet in the world today. To create this unique, continental-range, eight-passenger aircraft, Gulfstream's G150 development team worked to provide the longest range at the fastest speed while enabling short takeoff distances from demanding airports. In fact, Gulfstream delivered the G150 with more range and shorter takeoff and landing distances than what was originally promised. Gulfstream has a tradition of not only meeting, but also exceeding our customer's expectations.

The outstanding performance of the G150 is the result of superior aerodynamic design and efficient Honeywell engines. These TFE731-40AR engines have an increased thrust of 4,420 pounds (19.7 kN) each for good performance from hot and high airports. Think Aspen in summer or Toluca virtually anytime. These advanced engines also meet the stringent Stage 4 noise regulations.

With its improved aerodynamic profile and its more powerful engines, the new Gulfstream G150 has posted impressive numbers since going into service. In the first two years of service, the G150 has set 10 world city-pair speed records including New York to California, California to Hawaii, and from Aspen to New York.

The G150 can reach a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.85 and climb in steps to a ceiling of 45,000 feet (13,716 m), well above commercial traffic and weather. At its long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.75, it can whisk four passengers some 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km). At Mach 0.80, the G150 can fly four passengers 2,600 nautical miles (4,185 km) in less than six hours. With this range and at this speed, Gulfstream's first true mid-size jet easily links New York with Los Angeles, London with Gander, São Paulo with Caracas and Cairo with Delhi.

The G150 outperforms every other mid-size business jet on the market today. It flies higher, faster and farther than the competition yielding an outstanding reputation. Due to its performance capability, large cabin and advanced avionics, the editors of Flying Magazine were so impressed, they presented the G150 with the Flying Magazine's 2006 "Editor's Choice" award.

G150 Technology

When Gulfstream developed the wide-cabin, high-speed G150® business jet, they set out to build the most technically advanced mid-sized business jet in the world. They succeeded.
The advanced G150 cockpit employs Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 avionics systems as the basic architecture now enhanced by PlaneView™-like features that improves situational awareness for the pilot and creates a safer operating environment for the airplane.
The Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 avionics encompass four 12-by-10-inch (30 cm by 25 cm) LCD flight displays with Engine Indicating Crew Alerting System, a dual integrated Flight Management System with integrated GPS and a maintenance diagnostic computer. To enhance its operational efficiency, Gulfstream added a series of PlaneView-like features, including: Gulfstream's signature Cursor Control Devices (CCD) and electronic Jeppesen charts at no additional charge.
The Cursor Control Device, a Gulfstream innovation that was first introduced on the G550®, enables G150 pilots to input data easily and provides instant display of information, including flight plan and routing changes. The side-mounted cursor control device is integrated with the cockpit so as to be redundant with traditional controls. It reduces pilot workload through interactive controls, menu selections and range / speed scrolling. The G150 also offers options for a paperless cockpit, electronic checklists, graphical weather, a three dimensional view of your flight path, and a moving map system.
Gulfstream is also incorporating new, advanced technologies on the G150. In 2009, Gulfstream will be offering the Enhanced Vision System™ (EVS II, Heads Down) as an option to improve safety through greater situational awareness.
The Gulfstream G150 boasts the most advanced cockpit with its fully integrated systems, large easy to read displays, and unique features to reduce pilot workload and enhance safety.

G150 Interiors

Gulfstream engineers and interior designers had two goals in mind when they began to design the cabin of the G150® business jet into a larger, wider, more comfortable and productive business tool. They sought to create a cabin that would promote productivity while vastly improving passenger comfort at the same time.
Relative to its predecessor, the G100®, the new cabin on the G150 is 16 inches (41 cm) longer, 12 inches (30 cm) wider, and has a reshaped interior cross section to produce a cabin dimension of 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) in width by 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) in height. They developed three distinct cabin layouts to comfortably accommodate six, seven or eight passengers with an option to include an additional passenger with a belted lavatory.
The G150 cabin is designed to maximize passenger comfort with the best overall environment. The G150 includes the G200®-style windows for more natural lighting and better viewing. Passengers will enjoy the 100 percent fresh air that is infused into the living environment to help inhibit jet lag. By applying the technologies and materials found in our large cabin aircraft, Gulfstream was successful in providing the quietest cabin in its class with unmatched interior quality.
"I would say probably one of the most impressive aspects of the interior for me personally was the storage," says John Morikis, president and chief operating officer of the Sherwin-Williams Company. Sherwin-Williams is a global leader in the manufacture and sale of coatings and related products. "The quietness of the plane was a pleasant surprise for me. I hadn't noticed how much quieter this one was until we started bopping around between different planes and we're all now fighting for this 150. We all like it because of the comfort and just how quiet it is."
Dale Hood, the chief pilot and director of aviation at Sherwin-Williams, agrees. "We've had nothing but positive feedback from passengers regarding the cabin quality and comfort," he says.
It is evident that the G150 development team has created the ideal working environment for creative collaboration at 41,000 feet (12,497 m).

Executive Six

Designed for maximum comfort and storage space, this cabin configuration seats six passengers.

Universal Seven

This configuration provides the same comfortable four-seat grouping as the Executive, but by replacing a club chair with a two-place divan, the interior can now accommodate an additional passenger.

Hallmark Eight

Designed for maximum passenger capacity, this interior can accommodate eight passengers.
