About this aircraft
The Gulfstream G500 is a clean-sheet large-cabin jet built for high-speed long-range travel—pairing Pratt & Whitney PW814GA engines with the Symmetry Flight Deck and a bright, quiet Gulfstream cabin.
Gulfstream publishes about 5,300 nm maximum range at Mach 0.85, with strong high-speed cruise performance that shortens flight time on busy international routes. Cabins can be arranged in multiple living areas for work and rest.
It is the sweet spot when you want next-generation Gulfstream systems and cabin without stepping up to G600/G650 ultra-long missions.
