Gulfstream 550 Best Jet Review

Gulfstream 550
In business, there's always a need for speed. The ability to get things done quickly, including a business flight, can provide a competitive edge. Get a leg up on the competition with the Gulfstream 550 large business jet. This "Best Of" flies faster (Mach .885) and farther (6,750 nautical miles) than any other business aircraft in its class. It also is extremely versatile and can handle about any challenge in its path including short runways, strong headwinds and extreme heat and cold. Its Enhanced Vision System or EVS is an infrared camera that displays an image of the view in front of the camera on a head-up display to permit the pilot to land in lower-visibility conditions than a jet without the technology. The Gulfstream 550 provides lots of room for up to 19 passengers, and its two Rolls-Royce BR710 C4-11 engines take you up to 51,000 feet for a smooth ride above weather systems.
