GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE seems to have got its timing right with the
entry-into-service ceremony last week of the newest addition to its
fleet ” the mid-size G150 business jet. With a choice of three cabin
configurations, the aircraft accommodates six to nine passengers. At
a long-range cruise speed of Mach .75, the G150 can fly four
passengers non-stop up to 2,950 nautical miles ” longer than any other
aircraft in its class. It easily connects cities such as New York to
Los Angeles, London to Moscow, or Rio de Janeiro to Santiago. However
it cannot presently get in and out of London City Airport. The G150
is designed and built in collaboration with Israel Aircraft Industries,
the completed airframes flown to Gulfstream”s Dallas facility for the
final phase of manufacturing.
