Robb Report 2012 Best of the Best Winner
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.
