ROLE
The Gulfstream
V is a business jet aircraft produced by
Gulfstream Aerospace. It is also used by the US military under
the designation C-37A. The Gulfstream V (also called the G-V)
first flew in 1995, was certified in 1997, and was one of the first
"ultra-long range" (6,000 nautical miles) business aircraft. Capable
of carrying up to 16 people in standard seating configurations, and
able to fly up to 6,500 nautical miles (7,480 miles, 12,038 km),
the G-V became the longest range business jet ever made
(at the time of its introduction). Total production of the Gulfstream V
was 191 aircraft. The C-37A is capable of cruise at 51,000 feet.
The majority of G-Vs are operated by corporate and individual
owners.
