That T/O distance is not very impressive for the G150. That might restrict the aircraft a bit from operating out of some airfields - something to consider. Sovereign also has more baggage space (probably not good for the pilots).

Gulfstream's website is now quoting 5,000 ft. for takeoff distance under SL/ISA/MTOW conditions. That's an improvement from some of the numbers that Gulfstream was trumpetting when they took the cabin mock-up around. I recall at one point, the quoted takeoff distance for SL/ISA/MTOW was around 5800 ft.


I wonder if the takeoff performance is limited by geomety - i.e. the maximum body angle to avoid ground contact during rotation. That might explain the long distance requirement. The thrust-to-weight ratio seems a bit low, too.
