GII, GIIB, GIII differences...

[TIS]

And While we're at it...

...why DOES the G-V have that kink at the top of the vertical stab? I think I know the answer but I've only heard it second-hand.

[G4G5]

The sat com antenna is located under that bump.

ASC 190 aircraft have the Dunlop wheels and brakes.
Normal g4's have the Goodyear wheels.

ASC 190 raises the ldg weight to 66,000#, This gives you the capability of landing/tankering an additional 20,000#'s of fuel.

ASC 320. The problem is ldg at 66,000# makes the g4 into a Cat D aircraft (ldg, circiling mins). Certian airports don't have cat D mins or that cat D mins become a deterent (Aspen). Not everyone lands a g4 @ 66,000# or need to tanker fuel on every leg. So Gulfstream was able to talk the feds into letting them change the max ldg weight to and from 66,000 pounds as necessary. This allows the operator to use cat c and d mins as req.
All G4Sp and G450's have asc190 incorporated.

I'm talking about...

...the kink in the leading edge of the stab - the one that makes it look like an MD-87 tail.

The other stuff's right though!

Gulfstream Jeopardy

Gulfstream trivia for $500 Alex.......

How can you easily tell the difference between a GV and a G550 parked on the ramp?

 

[Brett Hull]

The seventh cabin window.

 

[TAG2]

The G550 will have the EVS mounted on the underside of the nose cone.

 

[sidesaddle]

Mr. Hull is correct.

Tag2, I have only seen the EVS on 550's so far, but it will also be available on the 500's, 450's, and 350's. It may be available as a retrofit for some of the others too. (like your G-IV or a V ???)

 

[Brett Hull]

Sweet! Now I just need to convince someone to hire me to fly one!

Oh, and I'll take swords for $48,000 Alex.

 

[TAG2]

Yeah, I think the EVS will be/or is available with any HUD. I thought of that AFTER I pushed the post button. The 350,400,450,550 will all have PlaneView and EVS standard, I believe. Gulfstream is striving to standardize their assembly lines as much as possible.

 

[G4G5]

Correct me if I am wrong but the distance from the main cabin door to the left seat cockpit window is different from the G4/400 to the G450. GAC wants commonality between the G450 and the G550 so they can build a common cockpit.

The door on the 450 is moved forward to give the folks paying the bills even more room.

Bonus points?

Flight Safety LGB has EVS in their G-IV sim

Yeah, I think the EVS will be/or is available with any HUD. I thought of that AFTER I pushed the post button. The 350,400,450,550 will all have PlaneView and EVS standard, I believe. Gulfstream is striving to standardize their assembly lines as much as possible.

I think you can get it any way you choose. They're making it available for training.

Now, about that notch in the tail of the G-V. I'm told that the reason it's there is because the guys who designed the tail were "furloughed" Douglas engineers who designed it that way. I've heard this from several sources, including from folks on the design review committee.

How much does the door on a Gulfstream cost? It sure looks fancy.

 

[Mudworm]

G4G5,
The door on the 450 is slightly aft when compared to the G4 however on the 550 it is farther forward compared to the G5.

 

[G4G5]

G4G5,
The door on the 450 is slightly aft when compared to the G4 however on the 550 it is farther forward compared to the G5.

This way they can use the same cockpit on both aircraft making production simpler. the only difference would be from the wing aft.

 

[TAG2]

Yes the door is farther aft on the G450. As G4G5 said, from the door forward, the 450 and 550 are the same. In order to give the pax the same size cabin as the G4, they added a 1 ft. plug behind the main door, so the G450 is 1 ft. longer than the G4.
